You can use 1/2 but that's over kill,1/4-3/8 is the norm. You'r trans will not bolt up to a 302.

And even if it would, it wouldn't last five minutes. :icon_rofl: They used to make an adapter for this, but it cost more than a good used V8 transmission would set you back. And once the V6 trans breaks (and it will) you're back at square one looking for another transmission
