New edge V6 swap to a pushrod 302

I'm doing this swap and was informed the V6 cradle (K member} will work with the pushrod 302.
Is this true? does anyone know for a fact.
If not, I have a 95 parts car I can use..but it took a hard hit on the nose and I have some doubts about the cradle.
Thanks for the info

You just can't seem to leave things well enough alone..can you??;-)

This article talks about the sn95 3.8 to 302 swap
The 302 kmember being needed is not mentioned; so this implies that the 3.8 newedge kmember should work for the 302 swap...

They imply that the v6 k member will work, but not exactly definitive..I guess I'll just have to try it

Originally, when I started building my 04 Mustang, the plan was to swap in a 351 Windsor, but then I found a wrecked GT and swapped in the 4.6 instead.

My initial measurements looked like the 351 pan and all would fit pretty well, but I never got as far as actually sliding one into the engine room. On my hot rod, I am running a rear sump Bronco oil pan instead of the front sump stock Ford pan, and I thought I could go that route if needed.

I guess some people have done the swap, so maybe a little internet searching will turn up some info.

Well, I have done some searching on this page and others, but ti seems the vast majority goes with an aftermarket k member so it is still up in the air. Between the aftermarket k members and the guys using a donor car there isn't much info out there on the v6 crossmember

Definitely post some picture of your build! I'd like to see how it turns out. Are you going with fuel injection or a carburetor?

V6 K-member will work. However most go aftermarket because you already that far along and the factory K-Member is awful.

Aftermarket will save weight and make headers and maintenance much easier.
