Default questions about a used 302

im getting a 302 efi engine and transmission out of an early 90's ford f-150, its set up for fuel injection but looks like a diferent intake set up then my 89 lx what are the differences between the two engines and what kind of numbers do u get out of the 150 engine (hp/lb-ft)

it has an automatic also, colum shifter, how hard is it to convert to on the floor and is this transmission worth keeping if i drop the engine into something else, worth getting a shift kit

if the engine looks diff it probably isnt a 5.0 HO, just a non-HO. stock the numbers will be lower than the mustang ones (225hp and 300lbs tq) but if you are looking to do a HCI swap the block and internals should be just as good
