does any one know how much h/p a 1989 f150 with a 302 has

 

If it's all stock.. not nearly enough.

 

I have a '89 F-250LD with a 302. According to the book... 185 hp and 240 ft pounds of torque. Let's just say the stumps will be safe. Another thing that sucks about my 302 powered truck is, my brother's 460 getts about the same fuel mileage.

 

Is the 89 250 302 carbed or efi. I know the f150s are efi. If yours has the same 302 engine thats in the f150s it should be 185hp and 270/275 lb ft torque.

 

well i just bought 93 f150 extened cad but the motor in it has a knock so we pulled it and i have a 1989van motor thats been rebuilt by jasper and it sounds ok it has alittle miss in it off idle . and i have a 1988 HO motor out of a mustang with a e303 cam that i put new vale seals and all neww engine gaskets on 2 years ago ,it runs strong .Its in my 80 model truck with a holley carb i plan to sell this truck anway . using the HO motor will be more work but is it worth it .What do you guys think?

 

Oh yeah i realy dont know much about the jasper motor just that it was rebuilt drove some and then set for a while but it seems to run ok .

 

I think you sould use the HO motor. If you could convert it back to EFI by finding a mustang comp and using the van intake, you could make yourself a pretty good setup. The longer runners on the van intake help with low end torque. If you convert to MAF like the HO motor came stock, your fuel mileage will be better and you need to convert to MAF anyway to use the mustang comp. You may want to stick with your carb setup if you dont feel up to messing with the fuel injection.

 

do i realy need the mustang comp i have the whole 93 truck set up there untouched could i not just use the long block of the ho and go that way

 

oh yeah the truck is not massair but why would it matter earlyer mustangs wernt either

 

Yes, use the truck EFI system on the HO motor.. but the E cam will have to go. You only have to look at this page to find out why....

Of particular importance are notes 1 & 7, the cam will require mass air and a high stall converter, both very bad news. Put a stock HO cam or even an Explorer cam back in it and you're good to go.

 

Thaks For The Stats Conanski You Been A Big Help

 

Yeah the cam would not work with the speed density system on the f150. Do you have the stock cam? Cause like consaski said, if you put it back in, the f150 comp will work. I got the feeling you just wanted to slap the engine in since it was already together, but if you feel like putting the old cam back in, more power to you.

 

I've found discrepencies between hp ratings..anywhere from 185 to 205...still don't have a clue how much my 95 came with lol

 

Nice Statement Flareside /heres Mine If It Has **** Or Tires Its Gonna Cost Ya !

 

fuel injected pre MAF 5.0 engines in f150s were 185hp and ones with MAF had 200hp.
