I have a 302 on my 70 now. I can have a 351W out of an 83 F150 for free to rebuild if I want. Will the truck motor work easily. I am also swapping the auto for a 5 speed, either a T5 or a TKO.

sure it'll work. Without a rebuild I think they run lower compression though, but shouldn't be a problem. Nice thing is, they use a 1 piece rear main seal, and have the those steel strips that help seal the oil pan evenly.
 
I am not sure exactly what it will be when I am done. The motor is kinda tired so I am rebuilding and I thought I would use performance parts as opposed to the original factory ones. I would like to be nearing 400rwhp when completed. Getting a T5 to hold that is a different issue. Im sure ill have tons of questions.
