New guy F into E swap...?
Hi there. Im new here. Life long wrench with a degree, a lot of theory, some racing experience, and restore stuff.
1981 keep scramble
1987 Porsche 924S
...I had pictures of those two on my wall as a kid...
1988 E 250 Clubwaggon. My tour van
My questions will be in regards to putting a 95 f150's 302 roller engine in my 88 e250 camper van? I was originally just considering throttle body injection for the original 351. As Ill need to tarvel cross country. And I don't like changing jets. Although ive gotten good at it. But it has developed low oil pressure so im planning for a new engine.
Easier to build a modern fuel injected engine and adapt the harness?
Or
Easier to build a big old 429 clone using a clever and throttle body inject it?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to FTE.
That's a lot of questions in one. You probably would get the most help for the Performance Engines, Troubleshooting section. Why not pose your question(s) there?
Check out your state chapter too.

Wow, even built up, I wouldn't go smaller to a 302 in an E250, especially if you plan on hills etc. like it appears you are. If anything, build up the 351. That's just my $0.02 though. I agree with pbsdaddy, the "Performance, Engines & Troubleshooting" section will help you out.
