    Alright, my drive home from FL to CA might need a little more power than my current 250 will be able to handle. However, i already bought EVERYTHING for the 250 (dumba** i know). If im going to go to a 302 what parts are interchangeable...? I got a 4 core aluminum radiator i know i can use with it...what about the 100 amp alternator and the mini starter i got? I think everything else i got is internals i know i cant use...

    Thanks again guys...

    Your 100 amp alternator and the mini starter from the 250 will fit the 302

    I'm not sure why you don't feel your 250 will make it to California, but I will assure you it certainly can! A 250 has plenty of power! At least mine does and it's totally stock! If you're heart set on an engine swap, there are tons of posts on it. Sorry, I don't know interchanges offhand, but dig around a little on the forums and you'll find your answer!:)

    you will need V8 frame mounts, V8 trans crossmember and a V8 throttle cable to start.:) Im doing the same swap.
