Engine problems
Last year i put a 351 bored 30 over in my 93 f150. the engine came out of a 92 ford van. the f150 originally had a 302 but i lifted it and wanted more power. The problem with it is that it goes through spark plugs after a few starts. The spark plugs are covered in black carbo soot im assuming. I replaced the injectors, cap and rotor, anything that i could think of.
Anyone have any ideas of whats wrong?

Pull computer codes and go from there.

I re-read it, you're running a .030 over 351 on a stock 5.0 computer? That's no bueno, not gonna be 100%. Also your old motor probably had non-ho old 302 firing order, and your new one is 5.0HO/351 firing order. Are your plug wires in the right order?

i replaced the computer. i got one for a 351 and i used the firing order from the old engine. it doesnt act like it is missing, it acts a little doggy when its cold but other than that it doesnt run bad

The 302 and the 351 has different firing orders. The HO 302 has the 351 order IIRC.

You have to use the 351w firing order, of course if you didn't, I don't believe it would run at all.
Is it flooding when you try to start it? or starts fine just running rich?
