79 F100

Hey guys, first off I'm new here.

Just bought a 1979 F100 2WD shortbox. Have a couple questions.

For now it has a 302 in it from a Mustang, dont have any other info on the motor. Where would I get numbers off the motor to get more info on it?

The speedometer is working, but not properly. The needle will be accurate at lower speeds and then just barry on the highway.

Any thoughts what should I look at or replace to fix the speedo?

I will post some pics tonight of the truck.

Maybe speedo gear in the tranny or maybe the P.O did a gear swap...
