We always recommend staying with direct replacement parts because when you change like you are suggesting, there always seems to be many problems. In this case, everything will need changed. For example, you will need different motor mounts, vacuum hoses, wiring harnes, computer... I'm not 100% sure the trans will bolt to the 6cyl.

I would recommend replacing it with another 302. IT will save money and a lot of headachs.
