It will bolt up as long as you don't use a 460 D:
And yes, the tranny will hold up as all the same transmissions were used behind the 300,302 and 351

dont waste your time with a 302 put in a 351w. thats what i did with mine, i have one of few 1986 351 port fuel injections 100% custom swap, it was a pita but well worth it
