If you plan on going the cheap route (using as much stuff from your 302 as possible) then don't let anyone fool you into thinking that it is not much more than a 302 swap. There are a lot of things that need to be changed that can add up pretty quickly.... of course, it also depends on whether you were planning on upgrading that stuff in your 302 anyway (in which case, it may cancel out the added cost of going with the taller deck block).
However, if you are pricing the difference between a really good 302 build and a really good 351 build, then the pricing won't be much different since, in both cases, you'll likely be bying all new stuff anyway.

i agree but if you wanted to carb it, then it would be no big deal. i cant imagin messing with fuel injection, especially converting to a diffrent motor. also if you are starting from scratch, a 351 based block will be your best bet, also pick up a late 60s early 70s 351 if you can, in my opinion they are the best pushrod blocks that ford ever made.
