    My personal first choice when needing parts is either the MCCI shorthorns newsletter or ebay. If you are very mechanically inclined go for the 302 swap, but you will need a parts car to get the job done easily. Keep it simple and rebuild the 250.

    and exhaust manifolds, v8 throttle cable, if you have power steering, maybe new lines and you will need brackets, pwr steering, alternator, if you have a/c then add that bracket too. Then add the price of fitting you old exhaust to hook to your new exhaust. But all is easy enuff to do if you have all the parts.
