 Any 2.3 motor will drop into a 74 and up with the original motor being a 2.3. Its the wireing that will be different. ( simple answer).

sorry, i forgot to mention, but i'm looking for the best 302 ci block that fits.  cause i found a guy who is gonna build my engine, but i wanna find the best block, for easiest installation.

As far as I know, there isn't ANY difference on the 302 blocks, but I have been wrong once ( ;D) and it's possible that I am wrong again... But to put a 302 in a Pinto, yer really gonna need a BFH to get it to fit.

and a bfh would be?? haha, my dad's gonna be helping me out with that, so i'll be learning a lot this time.
