The numbers differ from 5 to 10 in horse and torque, but the general numbers for the EFI are;

145 horse @ 3,400 RPM

260 ft/lbs @ 2,000 RPM

Give or take 5 lbs or horse. I've heard the carb'd 300's make their torque even lower.

Not a dumb question, by the way. =)

 

My uncle has an old 300 in my Grandma's garage I think . It's been there as long I can remember . I posted this ? in the wrong spot I guess but I baught a 78' f150 the vin shows it's supposed to have the 300 which someone swaped to a 302 . From what they have alrsdy said I need to decide on more top end speed with the 302 or the torque and pulling power of the I/6 .

 

If you have to decide on top end or low end then you probably need a 351 or larger.

 

The truck has 35" tires -4"s of lift they keep the 4spd trans I was thinking with going with a fuel injected 302 or the 351 carb.or not

 

I have access to 1ton diesal so I'm sure the truck not worth setting it back to original there abouts .

just read through the whole thing....had a lot of partially relevant crap in there. I guess that's what these types of threads are for. well I'm not gonna give the generic response to this thread (which is basically what I'm thinking) so.......

 

you hold yourself to a higher standard, right?

 

Pah, give up. I tried that once. It's more fun to lower your standards.

 

well, that way you are not disappointed
