No such thing as a 'best year' for a 300. The major difference, and the only thing that makes a difference is carbed V EFI. Pre-86 are carbed, post 86 are EFI.

Sit back and do a lot of reading on this Forum and also here: FORDSIX PERFORMANCE • Index page And you will end up with a world class education in Ford 240/300 engines.
