hello, with all you did on a tune up it might be the exhaust. do you have a catalytic converter on it? it could be stopped up & want let the exhaust out causing to much back pressure on the engine. might be something to check. hope this helps!

As far as putting a 302 in it its not that difficult there is an installation kit that is sold just for that. Ithink that it comes with motor mounts headers and different adaptors that is needed.
GOT MUD?

While I would not swap engines, I would check for any codes, especially for the EGR valve and exhaust.

you'd have to be a little more specific about what the 2.9 is doing,are you giving it gas,what's it do if you down shift,how often you know all the good stuff
