Yea thats why ford kinda ticks me off with stock engines. Its a truck, Not a gokart! Thats one of the major reason I choose a 351W for my 6-8 swap, plenty of aftermarket go fast parts for a descent cubic in platform. I would never touch a 302.
Anyways, a nice Holley 80457-S replacment carb and a gear change will do wonders for power.
Well if yer looking for great power , drop in a Caddy 472 or 500. The gas milage is about the same , but you get almost 3 times the HP (375-385hp) and the same with torque of 400 plus ft lbs. This is with out changing intake carb cam heads.
