Kirt; the basic block is a swap, but the fuel inj. is to tall to fit,
and the AOD trans. is dog house sized compared to the Tiger's toploader.
Also, the entire timing chain housing, waterpump, and serpentine belt
system would have to be ditched and swapped for all of the old tiger
stuff from the timing chain forward. Unless you're getting this set up
at fire sale prices, you may make out better buying a comlete new 302
short block from Ford (@$1800)
