hi guys...looking to add a little more power to my 1993 f150 4x4 with a 302...so far i got longtube headers,an accel ignition coil and a K&N replacement filter. Im looking for a few more power freeing things to do without really murdering my wallet...any advice or suggestions would be great

 

Going by the pic your '93 is rolling on oversized rubber, what size are they and what axle gearing does the truck have? Hint.. find the axle code on the drivers door pillar and post it up.
All these trucks are a bit under geared for big tires but the 5.0 trucks even more so, so that would be by far your best upgrade.. but it's not gonna be cheap.
As far as engine changes there isn't much left to do without going inside the motor, 1.7 rockers will add a little pep but a full cam change will really wake it up.

 

Not a lot you can do with a 302 in that truck. (too big, too heavy for a 302) You need more torque. I'm with Conanski, a gear change is your only bet here. Probably got 3.55's now. But the taller tires knocked the ratio at the pavement to something like 2.75-3.00. If you're going to keep it any length of time, both a gear change and a swap to a 351W (or 351W based stroker) should be your plans

 

im not sure on the gearing its all from the last few owners its on 36 14.50 15 tires now im down sizing to 35s soon ...my cousin's boyfriend welded the gears in the rear end together .....thats getting changed out before a meltdown happens .....i found another 302 for $150 on craigslist i was thinking of buying and tearing down .....hard to find a good used 351 here

 

Forget the motor for the time being and save your dollars for 4.56 to 4.88 gears for both axles.

 

Ok i can find those through summit racing right?......im not a fan of dealing with the local auto parts stores......to many guys that work there kinda look at you dumb founded when you ask for a simple part

 

Yes Summit will have the parts you need. You still need to find somebody local to install them however, it's not rocket science but it does require some special tools and knowledge.

 

there are alot of shops around here that can do it or im sure my friend that has a drag car should have the tools needed....thank you for the info
