You won't see that much difference, unless your old engine was really worn out.
If this high rise intake has one large hole where the carb goes, instead of being divided up(dual plane) you will see a big difference in the new engine. It will be a dog off the line and the worn out 302 would probably beat it.

from what i can remember a stock 90 mustang 302 was factory rated at 200 to 225 horsepower at the flywheel.however that intake makes it best power at the upper rpm range with a 4 barrel carb.it would hurt your low rpm torque in a truck unless you had a steep gear set in the rear.if you want to use the 2 barrel carb you have then i would reuse the intake off the 80
