Default Truck 302 vs Mustang 302

Whats the main differences with 302 out of trucks compared to one that came stock in a mustang... theres a 1995 302 out of a truck that im looking at, its a roller cam, so im guessing thats a plus but im not sure about whether or not they have forged or cast internals... i have plans of boosting either turbo or nitrous
input please and thank you. Im getting ready to dive *** first into my 5.0 swap

pretty sure all cast internals maybe hypo pistons cuz i believe the 94-95 stangs had hypo pistons. slightly different cams and heads, and obviously the intake. and thats about it. probably can get you specs on camshafts if you want em.

what else would i need to run that engine in my car, intake, heads would be a good idea, wiring harness made for what car or year? 5.0 ecu, and then all the other ****, fuel pump, rear end etc.. and im also doing a tranny swap lol...

anything from a 87-93. best thing to do is find ya a junk car and swap the harness, computer, fuel system, driveline, and youre acessories will be different on the car from the truck motor.

im having a hell of a hard time trying to find a parts car, i talked to a guy who runs a mustang shop not too far from me and he had every part for the swap but i never got a price... where should i be looking for parts cars, most of the junkyards around here are like over the counter but theres a few pick and pulls, but i doubt they have any mustangs
