re: oil pan
Hey Good luck
I'm doing about the same swap ,except with an unidentified BB , the towers for I-6 and fe motors are the same, but the 302's are not interchangeable , the engine stands for the 302's are out there and you might look at several before find a set that haven't been cut on
As for the oil pan my motor was out of a supercharged '85 stang kid bought it for the supercharger and scraped the bulk of it ,I end up with what turns out to be a '87 truck block 302 but it has the mustang pan I think either will work
The block is bored .30 over, roller lifters and rockers , heads turned out to be "66" series289 heads ported and polished intake and exhaust ,domed cylinders and stainless intake valves
