Truck build help!!!!
first off what I have is a 1989 f150 swb 2wd it currently has a 302 efi and an aod transmission I know I eventually want to do a Crown Vic front end swap if it’s possible s on this model and I want to also go to a Manuel transmission but I’m not sure what to do with the motor I have had built Fox body’s in the past and love what a correctly built 302 can do but don’t know if I should maybe just do a 351 swap any help on any of these thing would be greatly appreciated

There's a 14 page 351 upgrade thread in the 1st or 2nd page of this forum that might help you decide. It has a few links, and some of its frequent posters have build threads of their own. A recent dyno of one of their rigs shows promise for a truck with a mild build.
You'll need an end goal as far as power is concerned. And a budget. There are a ton of useful threads and users here that will point you where you want to go, once you decide.
I would say think about re-gearing your axle first and then decide how much you want to spend on adding like 50 horsepower and not upsetting the factory fuel injection.
