On a newer hydraulic roller 302 block,there are no mods needed......swap out the hydraulic lifters for solid roller lifters,put in a solid roller cam and the appropriate length pushrods and the correct distributor gear and go.....

Ran a solid roller cam in my 331 race engine for 8 seasons,I'd check the lash once a year and that's all........7000 rpm chip in the box,although on the dyno we revved it to 8000 just to see what the numbers looked like....
