You will need some wiring harness to work. You need v8 computer and a fuel injection harness for sure.

You need a v8 tranny.

The 4cly rad would cool, but it might tend to run hot. Depends on climate and if you run A/C etc.

If you have nothing but a 4 cylinder car it is going to be expensive. The best way to go is with a donor car.

If you have to buy every piece, dont bother with a 302 at least go 351 stroker.
