I have never owned a falcon, but can tell you the 289/302 platform will fit. It is going to be a lot of work putting the v-8 in a v-6 car, but I personally think a 4 door v-8 car could be a sweet ride.

I think you are on the right track trying to get a newer 80's 302...let whatever years and models you have plentifull there help you decide which one to get. As far as transmissions, you should try to run a c-4 that was built for a v-8, autos usually built for v-6's are not as beefed up as the v-8 versions (generally).
