Okay.the bolt pattern on the 3.8 is the same as a Windsor small block.....................has anyone swapped the 3.8 for a 302 and NOT blown a five all over the street?

Lots of people have swapped the 3.8 SC for a 5.0. The rest of your question doesn't make any sense, but if your asking if the 302 is going to break anything because of it's power....NO. Stock vs. stock the 302 is a pooch compared to the 3.8 SC motor.

I was thinking along the lines a 347 with a "Snow" set up.....if it would destroy the m5r2......Another item on my bucket list.
 
The M5R2 has a higher torque capacity rating than the T5, so if "blowing a 5 all over the street" means breaking the M5R2, I doubt you will.
