The km145 in your truck won't last 5 minutes with a 302.
I would buy a old cheap bronco/f150 and swap everything over and scrap the rest.
Things to think about:
What power steering pump you are going to use
Bigger brakes
Low geared rear axle
Speedometer
Tach
Gas lines
Wiring
Motor/trans mounts
A/c and heat
Throttle cables
Cable or hydraulic clutch and adapters
Body lift or floor pan cutting
Shifter placement
Radiator fitment
Cooling fan fitment
Bigger battery
More weight on the front end
Driveshafts
Exhaust
Headers and clearance
Oil pan clearance
Oil filter clearance
Brake booster/cylinder head clearance
Transfer case shifter
Transfer case/frame clearance
Emissions if you have testing
