The best thing about this Mitsu is the awesome gear ratio on LOW, I pull the V20 out of the ramp at idle almost.
I will probably end up overhauling the factory 2.6 I4, and add a better carb to it.

The I-6 will weigh as much as the 302, and it will probably not fit being too long.

And if you put the 302 in, you will have to work on it all the time, cause its a Ford.

I did a Google search and found a bunch of info on engine swaps for Montero's.

I put in "Raider Montero motor swap".

Give it a try, I bet someone has done what you want to do already and can walk you right through it.
