I don't think you will get it to clear the timing cover, but I am curious if you figure out a way.

The stock timing set is quite impressive actually. Get a good billet geared, double row roller set and it will be more than you ever need.

I like cloyes true billet

The 302's in explorers don't have a knock sensor.

I'm looking at doing this.
I found a couple of different sets from Jegs, but i have no idea if they will work.
fyi gears aren't exactly cheap
