That's one of the most easiest swaps you can do on this planet. You practically have no clearance issues, with a carbed 302 the swap should take you practically not time at all and should be very cheap too. Alot of people seek out your model year of your truck for that purpose alone. you shouldn't have any problems at all. I wish mine was going to be that easy.

I used the stock V6 mounts in my swap. You just have to make 2 flat plats to bolt to the motor. On the drivers side I had to double up the plat so it would sit leval. I used 1/4 inch steel and 1/2 inch on the drivers side. Never even moved the mounts.
As far as the clutch cable. I took a pedal out of a mustang and put it in my truck. It was a 5 speed to begin with. Its not a good set up but works for now. I usuly snap a cable about every other year. I need to put in a hydrolic setup, but havent figured that out yet.

The 05 use an internal slave that looks to have 2 bolts that bolt in in place inside, do they fit? they are very pricey also like around $160 to $190. I would think there is a far better way to make the clutch hydrolic, isnt there?
