the 302 engines are very plentiful, tons of aftermarket support for them, and if it is an easy swap GO FOR IT! Just make sure that you find a manual trans for it instead of going automatic.

Are you going to keep the AC?
Power steering?

After it is all done, you could then take it to car craft where it would have a little more respect

BTW, even though it is fun to build your own motor, don't over look the possibility of buying one that is already built and has been slightly used. 302 race engines are very plentiful and cheap. 8 built rods for 5.0L are cheaper then 4 rods for a 4g63. Also I would see if you could stay fuel injected so that it is a little more DD. not that carbs are bad but you will get better fuel economy, cold start, driveability with Fuel injection.
