There's no reason to change the FI pump. Just get a fuel pressure regulator the has a 3rd port to return the excess fuel to the tank.
Also, if the 302 was originally FI, you may not be able to install a mechanical pump, as the block may be new enough that they quit machining the pump opening after a while... plus, there won't be a lobe on the cam to operate it.
