Need help with 1989 F150
I just bought a '89 F150 with 165k miles on it. I plan on putting on a 6" lift and tires, a new engine, and some body work into it. If anybody can offer me any information of what to do with this truck, what parts to get, etc. I would appreciate it. I would specifically like to know what kind of engine could I fit into the truck, preferrably and 8 cylinder.
Thanks,
Kris

With the right gears, any motor can handle big tires.
The six puts out more low end torque than the 302. Personally, I wouldn't trade my six for anything, especially with gas prices these days. When you go up to the bigger motors, the 351 and the 460, sure, you get more power, but they will drink your wallet dry.
But the 302 has a lot more aftermarket support, but that depends again on your pockets.
