I don't know who makes a kit for what you want, but maybe you could find out by doing a lot of phone calling (speed shops,etc.)  My 2 cents worth, though, I'd say keep the 302. With fuel injection these days you can make some serious power.  If you just want something different, I'd recomend a 351 Windsor, because it's in the same family as the 302 (Windsor).  Thirty years ago the Cleveland was the engine of choice for high performance, but with all of the modern parts for the Windsor family, you'll make far more power.  Besides, you can find anything you could want (the kits for the T-5 & 351 W are plentiful), and  run fuel injection (if you wanted).
