Well I don't think this can be done by a farm boy with no money to spend on it. Sell the fuel injected 302 to somebody who needs a f/i 302 and use the money to buy another donor car like Richard did. An older car or pickup with a carb that's been wrecked or rusted but still runs good. It could cost less than buying a good used transmission. And you'll have all the parts you need to complete the swap. If you're really a farm boy you could even use the old body for a chicken coop. That would make streets happy. Nothing wasted. Ford parts cars are usually cheaper than Chevys. I just bought a rusty 80 Firebird a couple of months ago for $300, pulled the Chevy 350/350 and sold the body on ebay for $250. I found a new accel ditributor cap, coil, rotor, ignition module and plug wires in the trunk. Old Firebirds are much cheaper than old Camaros.

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
