I'm pretty sure that's true only for F150s, and the heavier-GVWR vehicles (F250/350, cab & chassis, etc.) were still DSII up through 1988 or so.
But I don't recall if the 302s were ever offered in those heavier-duty vehicles - but the 6-banger was.

See that's what I thought. I'll find out though. Guy didn't know what year the truck was either. It's a 86. That solid front axle gives that away. 351 were carb at that time no?

351 HO were carbureted and found in 250/350 trucks through the '87 model year.
Look at the drivers side cylinder head.
On 302's the waterpump was almost flush with the deck.
On 351's you can see some of the block.

Exactly what I thought. My 86 is a heavy half F250 with the Dana 44 front end and a 302, and my 90 is a HD F250 with a Dana 50 front end and a 460

An F-100 is a half ton.
An F-150 is a heavy half.
An F-250 is a 3/4 ton.
An F-250HD is a heavy duty 3/4 ton (but often the "HD" is "silent")
And when I ordered my '85 F-250HD new in '84 I could have had the 302 EFI in an F-250, but I ended up going for the 2 bbl 351W with no cat in an F-250HD.

It's a super cab, and the 86 is a regular cab. I don't think you could get a 302 in the super cab.

So I can't go until Saturday. Are there any brochures or product information confirming this? We all know how ford threw stuff in at the end of model years and wE all know it could have been swapped but any hard evidence out there?
