Just curious but what is involved in an engine swap replacing the stock 302 with 331(5.4L right?)? Fuel injected, and would a KB Blowzilla for the 302 fit on it? What would it cost for the 331 crate engine?

And yes a KB blowzilla would fit onto a 302, 331, 347; its all the same block. But for some reason I believe the only lower manifold you can use with a KB is GT-40??? (someone correct me on this if I am wrong).
I could not give you a prince on a crate motor; there are just way to many different factors. Heads/Intake/Pan/Ignition/Internals/Forged/BlaBlaBla... A couple good companies to check out are DSS/Coast High Performance (CHP)/ Ford Performance Solutions (FPS)/Keith Craft/etc. Go on any one of their websites and they should have cratemotors for sale. And 99.9 percent of any of these companies will built you a custom motor if you dont like what their crate motors consist of... just remember that.

RE: 302 to 306 swap
thats what i meant, i meant a crate motor. either already built or just the shortblock and i'll get some AFR 165 or 185 to put on it.
I found something i like http://www.coasthigh.com/Assemblies/Ford/ford_331.htm which is the 331 street fighter pro shortblock. What i want to know is what is the difference b/w shortblock and a longblock? and if i get a shortblock(i think its just the engine block with pistons etc... what would i need to buy serpeartly, i know i will need heads, Intake manifold. What about a oil pan anything else? and what level difficulty would you rate putting a 331 in?

The heads would work but the lower intake would have to be swapped out.

So does this require heads and intake for the 351. are the heards/intake smaller on the 302?

so does the 351 have its own version of the gt40?

Well I have a 351 in my possession as we speak, as to what type it is i am not sure, I have an old beat up 1995 F-250 with a 351 in it sitting in my drive way collecting dust. The motor has 235k on it as it sits but runs like a champ. Anyone familiar with the 95 F-250 and that model of the 351 I'd like to get your input.
