1985 Ford F-150
Country Boys Can Survive
Well been havin some trouble with the 85 lately in the motor department. Mainly stuff wearin out that has to do with the EFI so.... startin to look for a 351 or another 302 to stroke out and a set of 60s heads to throw on it. The 302 thats in it is a good motor and has handled everthin ive been able to throw at it for a few years but now its startin to be more and more of a problem since im drivin it more often. For starters the computer thats in it is toast and cant be read to see what codes its throwin, all the little plastic vacuum lines are so brittle now ya look at em wrong and they break, bearings are shot in the smog pump, got a leak on the timing cover somewhere and the list goes on and on. So were finally fed up with it and gonna build us a carbed monster and get rid of all that garbage. If we go 351 Id like to stroke it out to a 408 if we go with a 302 itll probly be a 347. Gonna get some money built back up in the bank and then start buyin parts. One thing thats got me stumped though is what were gonna do for fuel delivery since EFI runs at a way higher pressure.
