Well I am in need of a motor mine finally went after about 300k on my 95 F150 Ext. Cab I can get a motor off my friends step dad He has a 84 thunderbird 302 fully rebult engine with around 20k on the engine now would I be able to use this in my truck and what would I have to swap and how hard would it be to do this all info would be helpful thanks alot.
Yes it is a 302 I was thinking I might have to swap the intake use the one off my truck so would this work then and how hard would this all be will it bolt right up?
assuming the tbird motor is carbed youll have to do a little finangling but yes it will bolt right up. youll want to take the flywheel/flexplate from your pickup as well as the intake and exhaust. you also need to get a plate to seal off the mechanical fuel pump boss in the tbird motor. hopefully the engine was rebuilt pretty close to stock because things like higher compression and hotter cams can really confuse the ecu. am i forgetting anything guys? and please correct me if ive made any mistakes, i dont want to give any ford lover bad advice.
Basically everything 78sForever said but you probably won't need to seal off the mechanical fuel pump boss. Is your truck mass air? If so then you don't need to worry about a motor with a performance build - within reason, of course.
Im new on here and have a question I have an 86 f250 with 302 and picked up a used 89 302 just wondering if it will drop right in with wirering plugs ect any info would be helpful thanks
Ok thanks I am gonna go check it out this weekend I am not doing nothing performance wise on this truck just getting her running again beautiful truck just had like 300k on motor and it went finally and I am getting the whole car and motor for 300 bucks off a friend the engine/car/tranny has 80k original miles on it.
86 will have throttle body injection where your truck has multi port injection. the intake for sure but im not sure about the fuel pump and other details. you may want to compare things like exhaust manifolds and oil pans
