    We're doing this swap now. Here's a partial list, what I can remember at this moment. I'm sure there might be other stuff I've forgotten.
    bellhousing
    shift linkage
    throttle hookup
    fan (the 250 water pump has a larger shaft)
    radiator
    motor mounts and brackets

    I was able to pull the exhaust up. Didn't think it was going to, though. The motor mounts and brackets will NOT work, you need the ones from a 250. The bellhousing is the same as the one on a 302, I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    I forgot, I did not put the air conditioning stuff back on it. The brackets from the 200 don't line up with the 250. It may be it can be done with the same stuff, I've just never done this before, so when it didn't line up, I just opted to leave it off for now.
