Best to just run a Gen III SBC swap. Much much much more common, stronger, overall a way better design to make power from. Plus a complete 5.3 is pretty damn cheap and you can find them everywhere.

He wont have that, hes a die hard Ford guy and wants a lighter nissan body to work with. it HAS to ba a carb 302 ford motor.

I'd recommend a miata over S chassis for the swap, has been done more often and believe the 302 will just throw off the S chassis too much.

tell him to pull his head out of his ass and ditch the "die hard ford fanboi carb" attitude.

carb=fail
80's technology motor=fail


needs more 5.4+injection.

Yes, a tried and true swap.
