In addition to what Howard said, a 302CID SBC is probably too small to lug around a Packard. A good 350CID or better yet a 400CID SBC would be a much better choice. All the issues associated with the swap are still the same.

Unless you are a skilled fabricator (being in HS, probably not), it will most likely be more $$ to swap than to just fix the Packard S8, even if someone gave you a good 302 SBC.

JMHO,
