i just got a ford 302 it was out of a f250 that had title lost.. its only got 64k on it .. its a 1991 or 93 cant remeber...... it runs... i wanted to put it in my f-150.. But i want to know if i can just change the intake manafold and thow a carb on it...


i know you can do that with chevy v8 .... efi are a bitch to work with.... i hate fords ......


errrr.. im giving my self a headache just thinking about it...

lol... EEEee Efi... biger eeeeeee FoRd !......

ford efi is pretty easy to work with, i believe there's only something like 10 wires to hook up...

i'm sure you can carb it.

you can change the intake manifold. I did that to my 85 Lincoln Town Car. It has a 302 that was origionally fuel injected. I took the intake off of a mustang cobra of the same year (a Police interceptor Crown Vic would work just the same)I put a 4-barrel holley on it, it ran a little better, I like it just because it gives my pipes that rough sound instead of the rhythmic hum you get from fuel injection. personally I would stick with fuel injection. It would be cheaper to buy a JET computer replacement chip (about $150), you get much more power that way, just be sure to "break-in" the engine, don go around flooring it all day, granny it for a week or so, to "prepare" the seals for the rising of hell!

just 1 question, why would you want to run a carby on it, EFI is more fuel efficient and more powerful

No matter how good she looks, some other guy is sick and tired of putting up with her crap!

And much easier to start!!!

you can easilly make it carbed. Just have find an intake for it. But i must agree, if you can get the EFI working that would be better.

Keep the EFI if you can. My first car was a Police Interceptor with the 5.0 EFI and when I got it I drove the shit out of it for three years and never had to change anything more serious than the thermostat. Ran like a bat outta hell too.

efi is better if you can/want to keep it but if your set on the carb idea be warned some efi fords have no provisins for a mechanical feul pump so you have to set up an electric pump

My vote is for keeping the efi. Hooking up wires correctly is a lot cheaper than getting different parts to make a less than stock performing engine.
