87 vs 83
I have 2 trucks
87 F150 351w 4bbl C6 8.8 with 3.08 gears
83 F150 351w 2bbl C6 8.8 with 3.08 gears 4x4
Both trucks are mostly stock.
My 87 hauls but. 0-60 quick
My 83 is a dog 0 -60 is a life time
I know there would be some difference be cause of the 2bbl but wow this truck is slow.
Is there more too it

The '87 engine is a "351 H.O." All 351's after 1985 were. The "High Output" version adds a 4 barrel carburetor, larger air cleaner, and a performance oriented "marine" camshaft. The fact that the '83 is a 4x4 will slow it down some too because of all the extra weight.
1983-85 351 Windsor V8 (2bbl) = 150 hp, 280 lb/ft.
1984-87 351 H.O. Windsor V8 (4bbl) = 210 hp, 305 lb/ft.
