Question 94 6 cylinder ?????

I might but a 1994 f150 with with 6inch lift, 33's, auto tranny, the only bad thing is that it has a 6 cylinder in it... How good are these 6 cylinders...MPG, Power , towing???? Im used to built high horse power v8's in little broncos, so how will this 6 banger run and it has 119,000 miles on it. I can do engine swaps , so what would it take to drop a 5.0 or a 5.8 in it?????? thanks

the 4.9 was the only engine offered in these trucks for six bangers.

they are really good motors that will long out live the truck itself.

I believe the 4.9 I6s have nearly the same torque output as the 5.0 V8.

And who cares about HP in a truck, unless you're gonna run the thing near redline in the highest gear.

In 94 they were rated 150hp @ 3400rpm for the 4.9, and 185hp @ 3800rpm for the 5.0.

Specs for the '90-'96 years:

4.9 I6
Horsepower: 145
Torque: 265 lb-ft.


5.0 V8
Horsepower: 185-205,
Torque: 270-275 lb-ft

So nearly identical pull (torque).

I would take a 300 over either a 302 or a 351. They are easier to work on than a V8, and anyone who has ever changed the plugs on a windsor V8 will back me up on this.

Gas mileage is about the same, all other things being equal. The 300 will outpull a 302, and give the 351 a good run for its money.

And the 300 will outlast either motor.

So saying "the only thing wrong with it is it's a six cylinder" just shows that you just haven't owned one yet, otherwise you would have already bought it.

Sorry Said that its bad cus it has a 6 cylinder in it, didn't know much about them, Im just used to high powered v8's in lttle broncos one is 750Hp and the other is 475hp, and i was gettin this truck cus my 69 bronco is getting 8.5MPG and its my daily driver and being 16 thats paying alot for gas, but i need a truck to pull my mud racing bronco every weekend to mud bogs in the summer, so thats why i thought it would be to much for a 6 cylinder??? Cus we used to pull it with my dads 7.3 f350 but he is going to be pulling the camper to the bogs and i need a truck to pull the bronco..
