Jeff,
There are a number of great articles on this kind of swap, some using
the 5.0L (302), and some the earlier 302 without the roller cam/tappets
(recommended) on TigersUnited.com.
If you are not going to change the transmission CASE to a combination 5
bolt / 6 bolt transmission end, there is a bell housing search in front
of you. I personally recommend swapping your mainshaft, and useable
parts into a newer design case (watch out for the number of teeth on the
internal speedo helical drive, or use the original from the Tiger Mk
I/IA, to avoid large speedo errors. The wide ratio set, as in the Mk
II, make driving and accelerating a lot more exciting, without the
problems of a rear end gear change (high rpm in 4th) or the change to a
five speed. Articles on that too.
