The 302 would be my choice decent gas mileage 135 hp which was decent back then the 460 had like 220 hp so none of the engines listed are powerful by modern standards or if you wanted a little more power the tried and true 390 made 190 hp but the 302 and 390 Are very reliable there are a lot of them still alive today
The 2bbly 302 was weak sauce back then. My first vehicle was a 1974 F-100 (2WD, 3 on the tree). When I got it it had a 302. It was replaced with a slightly warmed over 4bbl 390. Much better engine for a truck IMHO.
- What's better the famous 454 bbc or the ford 460? I love both! But I do think ford is better. But you don't see people engine swapping 460s into trucks or cars. But I'm thinking a project f100/150 old school carb 460 candy blue and chrome would be sick with tons of power. Opinions? Suggestions?
- What Ford vehicles with a 302 motor comes with a 4 barrel carb (and only comes 302 with a 4bc)? I have a 1989 mustang gt motor and I'm making it carbureted and I'm looking for any vehicle with a 302 that carries a 4b. I'm going to a junkyard where they don't help with finding vehicles, so it would be helpful to know what vehicles only have a 302 with a 4bc, that way I can look it up on the website and know exactly where its at.
- Must I put premium gas in my 1965 Ford F100 390 V8 or can i put regular gas? I was told that it needs premium gas and premium gas only. But the guy who I bought the truck from said it was a myth and it takes regular gas. What gas does my Ford F100 390 v8 engine take?!
- Is a ford 390 better than a 351w? I got a 79 f150 with a 351w and i have a 390 in the garage would it be a good idea to swap it for more power
