92 351 for towing?
hello all!
I ahve done alot of reading, but just get more confused. I have a 92 f150 with a 5.8 and an e4od. I tow an enclosed landscape trailer everyday and I am looking for more torque for pulling. The truck is stock at this point. I am looking for the simple upgrades as far as exhaust and intake and cams or what not. any suggestions as well as links would be great! thanks in advance

hey thanks for the reply. How hard are the rollers to install? i found a set for like 110 does that sound about right?
also, I see that you said to use a single exhaust is that to keep up the backpressure?

i would honestly do gears first. the gains will be far better then what motor upgrades you do at this stage. He exhaust is a must regardless though. if you are towing daily look into running 4.10's front/rear especially since you have an OD tranny.

There are companies that make aftermarket valve bodies for E4OD's, and believe B&M make a shift kit for it as well. That and a Powerstroke trans cooler and deep aluminum trans pan and your transmission will remain cooler under heavy loads. One thing with a valve body or a shift kit is that they will shift hard all of the time; they do not regulate the TV pressure at lighter engine loads, that is done by programming.
I would suggest having a shim kit handy if you plan on doing a 1.7 RR swap.
