82F100, the HD trucks were presumably down rated for enduring higher work loads and may have had different tuning for that, not for emissions reasons. That's they only reason that makes sense to me.
Thanks, DOHC...
Of other note, the base price of an 85 F250 SuperCab 4x4 would be approximately $28k in today's dollars.

Hey guys. I spent a bit of time today taking pictures and making a PDF file for those who'd be interested in reading the 1985 Dealer Rapid-Spec Price List and Ordering Guide for F-Series trucks. In it you'll find the available factory exterior color paint chips, option lists, engine info, option coding, what was available for the different trucks F150/F250/F250HD/Explorer package, pricing info, special order equipment, axle ratio codes, and more. There's some very good info in here and I turn to it for research frequently. If there's enough interest, I'll try getting some of my other literature up (none as useful as this file). Hopefully the site I'm hosting the file at works out. If anyone has any trouble downloading it, contact me and I can email you a copy when I get a chance. Enjoy!

'85 truck 302 vs 351W
Chump - Thanks! To me that is invaluable. And, it is fascinating to read.
For instance, on Page 10 it says that the 302 EFI made 190 HP @ 3800 while the 351 HO makes only 210 @ an even higher 4000. Further, the 302 gave 285 lbs-ft of torque @ 2400 while the HO gave 302 @ 2800.
So, while some dis the 302 as being a horse power engine, and then only at high revs, it actually gave peak torque at less RPM than the 351. In fact, it gives only 7% less torque and 10% less horse power than the 16% larger engine.
Anyway, THANKS!
