So in this case I hear alot of don't waste my time with the 5.0. I want alot of power from my build, and I prefer (get ready for this) to run it as a carburated motor. Now I know you can do that with the 4.6 but I would have to Frankenstein parts such as P.I heads from newer 4.6's

Lol.
If you took the time and money you're wanting to waste with a 302, you could swap in a 400 hp 5.4.
Tell all the guys running 1100 hp lightnings or ibd running 1100+ in his 4x4 that they're pieces of ****

I'll tell you now you'll be time, money and headaches ahead of you go with a 5.4. Especially if you build a supercharged one with lightning takeoff parts. You will never have that kind of power and reliability out of a carbureted 302 without spending huge amounts of cash.

If you really want a pushrod engine, why not get a Chevy? Problem solved. I can't figure out where you are coming from on this, it's a truck.

Solid axle swap 6,0 swap is the only good way I see. Inb4 2wd to 4wdvduslly swapped sas 7.3 f150. You got it bro.

You must really like this body style to even contemplate all that work. No, it have to be total obsession.

The you contradict, by not wanting to Frankenstien..Which is it, your all over the place.

The only time I'd consider swapping an older motor is if its a mud truck that I don't really care about, where I didn't care if it had functional gauges, not worried if its out of commission for weeks tracing problems etc.

I wouldn't do all that for a 302 though, I had one in a single cab short bed and it was gutless, if we're talking a built 460 as a toy, I can get behind that.
