302, 351 carb'd swap into '94 sn95 v6

Actually, I'd be more inclined to supercharge the V6 I already had to avoid issues like gauge compatibility, or to sell the V6 car and buy something V8 powered.

The bellhousing will bolt up, as already noted, but there's a difference in input shaft length, as noted, that would need to be addressed before the transmission could be mated to the engine.
Engine swaps are almost never simple, straightforward affairs. They're not often as cheap as people assume they're going to be, either.
Why not just sell the car that you aren't satisfied with and apply the money that would have went in to the swap toward the purchase of a V8 Mustang or some other V8 powered car?

Phrases like "got the car cheap" and "got a good 351W ready to go in" suggest a different motivation for wanting to keep the stock gauges than one of aesthetic sensibility.

Yea that's what I said

This is a pretty involved job if your not a mechanical,wizard. You'll need to ditch all the wiring harnesses. You'll need a low pressure fuel pump., regulator and a throttle cable out of an older fox body that originally had a carb. Change motor mounts. You'll need to change your ignition system. A v8 suspension will probably be needed. Honestly I did all the crap your talking about and your looking at a lot of time and more money than it's worth. And I started with a v8 car that will only be used at the track to begin with. Not to mention you'll never pass inspection if your state has it
