Default RIP 302, 351 going in

My 302 started knocking and smoking bad about 4 miles away from my house this morning, I have her loaded down with a bed full of wet mulch and my trusty buffalo took me all the way home before dying in my arms in my driveway. So I bought a 5.8L today and proceed with the swap. I'll post pics in a few hours.

I'm going to watch this for future reference. I doubt my 302 will die any time soon, but when it does a 351 will replace it.

She's a black night. I overheated it bad a month or so ago and blew a head gasket. This has been coming for a while. 160k
