If it's your DD you shouldn't do it, it's not legal. only 4.6L engines are

I doubt the 4.6 K member will fit a 302 without and modding, you'll need the computer though

If you want to get a 5.0 you might as well get a 5.7

I agree, it is illegal to swap engines and drive it on the street if it is not 20+ years old. Maybe its different in your state though, or is it a national thing.
