Obd2 - 302
I have been told that 1996 was the last year Ford put a 302 in a pick-up and coincidently that was the first year of the mandated OBD2.
Can anyone tell me which pick-up had the combination of both the 302 and OBD2?
I would think that the 302 is pretty small for anything bigger than an F150???
Oh...I'm looking for this to put in a '66 mustang project I have going and wanted the versatility of having the OBD2 for programming.
Please tell me if I'm crazy...and any "better ideas" you might have.

My 96 F!50 has a OBD2 302, if your heart set on having OBD2 and a 302 a 96 f150 would be your only choice. I believe mustangs were no longer using a 302 in 96, although I've never seen one there may be a few 302s in f250s from this generation, I know they used 302s in a few older f250s, just not sure if they used them in 96.

Explorers used them up to the body style change in '02. That may be a better choice as one from the first year of OBDII probably won't have as many programming capabilities, just a guess. You'll probably have to figure out basically what you want to do and if the system if capable of it.

The 1996 was the last year for the 302 in any FORD with a distributor.
So I would think that 1996 F150 is your only choice.
The Explorer did have a 302 up to 2001 but it was an electronic distributorless ignition system (EDIS) controlled by an electronic engine control (EEC) integrated into the powertrain control module (PCM).
The PCM out of one of these would have different inside parts and would not be an option for you.

There's probably enough differences anyway that it wouldn't be a direct bolt-on to add EFI to a '66 engine.
