I have a 78 300 that would reguarly out pull co-worker 94 302 hands down. But step dad has a dodge Ram charger 360 88'.It's be one problematic#$$#$$#$$$$$$$%%%%%% and a guy that works for him wants to sell an 87-93 F150 not sure if it is Mazda 5 or a AoD but he has a 5,000lb trailer that he pulls for work .Can a 87-93 well maintained 302 do it?I know my 300 6 does it and i almost forget that I have that trailer behind me.I think he said 3.55's for gears on that 302.What are some things to watch out for.Is the motor up to it it is a 2wd RC 302 87-93

I had a '93 F150 RC LB 2WD w/302 & EAOD tranny. Could really feel the strain when pulling my 3000# boat. Towing was somewhat better after installing a Superchip.
Before buying, check out the exhaust manifolds. They had a history of cracking/leaking.
