302 Tq

"Wild HoRsE" Got Torque?

Those are some very nice numbers. Thanks. I hope the 5.0 HO does have that much hp and tq!

no not that high.. mmm

my stock 351 had 210 i think a 302Ho has about 245 something like that. not sure about trq numbers

my built 306 is expecting 350hp at flywheel

oh and a stock trucks 302 EFI is about 200hp

Oh, 245 is still a nice number though. That's from a 1985 police car HO?

Wow, that awesome! Is that going in your truck?

Okay, thanks!

here you go

1985 -- 210 HP @ 4400

* Hydraulic roller tappet camshaft introduced. 266' duration, .444 valve lift
* Revised block (122 lb.) with two retainer bosses for roller tappets.
* New cylinder heads, revised to allow service removal of the roller tappets
* Distributor drive gear material changed to be compatible with steel camshaft
* Forged pistons with low tension rings and thicker ring lands. Compression remained at 8.4:1
* Holley 4180C carburetor, with improved secondary metering
* Water pump impeller diameter increased to 4.4" for increased flow
* Stainless steel tubular headers

the whole list

5.0 High Output -- Chronology of Changes 1982 -- 157 HP @ 4200

* Introduction of the 5.0 High Output engine
* Lighter (120 lb.) thin wall 302 block, with old-style 2-piece rear main bearing seal
* Reciprocating assembly changed to utilize 50 oz.-in. unbalance flywheel and 34 oz.-in. damper
* Cast pistons, 8.4:1 C.R.
* Heads with smaller "high velocity" ports and valves
* "1973 Torino" profile flat tappet camshaft, duration 260° intake, 278° exhaust, lift of .416" intake, .444" exhaust
* Double row roller timing chain
* Aluminum intake manifold
* 369 cfm Motorcraft 2-barrel carburetor
* Dual snorkel, high dome cover, low restriction element, air cleaner
* Cast iron exhaust manifold with a 2" outlet, 2.25" Y-pipe

1983 -- 175 HP @ 4200

* Same camshaft, exhaust manifolds, and pistons as 1982
* 600 cfm Holley 4180C 4-barrel carburetor and aluminum intake manifold
* New block and crankshaft to use a one piece main seal introduced mid-year

1984 -- 175 HP @ 4200

* Generally the same as 1983
* Redesigned choke, eliminating heat tubes from the manifolds

1985 -- 210 HP @ 4400

* Hydraulic roller tappet camshaft introduced. 266' duration, .444 valve lift
* Revised block (122 lb.) with two retainer bosses for roller tappets.
* New cylinder heads, revised to allow service removal of the roller tappets
* Distributor drive gear material changed to be compatible with steel camshaft
* Forged pistons with low tension rings and thicker ring lands. Compression remained at 8.4:1
* Holley 4180C carburetor, with improved secondary metering
* Water pump impeller diameter increased to 4.4" for increased flow
* Stainless steel tubular headers

1986 -- 200 HP @ 4000

* Stronger block (126 lb.) incorporating "squared bores" for better oil control.
* Compression increased to 9.2:1 with flat-top pistons
* Masked intake valve, high-swirl cylinder heads, casting # E6AE-AA. This head was also used on 1986/91 normal passenger car engines.
* Roller cam same as 1985
* First year for multi-port speed density fuel injection, 58 mm throttle body, 19 lbs/hr. injectors
* Dropped cold start exhaust control valve, header outlet size changed to 2 1/4"
* New water pump with exit scroll and more efficient impeller.

1987/88 -- 225 HP @ 4000

* Same Camshaft, exhaust manifolds, and block as 1986
* Truck casting wedge cylinder heads with revised combustion chamber, casting # E7TE-AA, used through '95
* 9.0:1 compression forged pistons with valve eyebrows
* Speed Density EFI with same intake runners, larger crossover duct, and 60 mm throttle body

1989/92 -- 225 HP @ 4000

* Same block, heads, intake and exhaust manifolds as 1987
* Introduction of the 55 mm Mass Airflow fuel injection system. Since this system measures the actual air flowing into the engine, high performance camshafts may be used.
* These engines offer the greatest performance potential of the 5.0 H.O. series
* In stock trim, the small 55 mm MAF & revised camshaft actually limited breathing, so it was no longer producing 225 HP.

1993 H.O. -- 215 HP @ 4200

* Mostly indentical to 1989/92 engines
* New cast hypereutectic aluminum pistons, lighter weightand greater hot strength
* Hi-torque, mini starter
* Advertised horsepower dropped due to the incremental changes.

1993 Cobra -- 235 HP

* Same cast pistons as 5.0 H.O.
* Cast iron GT-40 heads
* Shorter duration, higher lift camshaft
* 1.7:1 ratio roller rocker arms
* Cast aluminum GT-40 style intake
* 65 mm throttle body, 24 lbs-hr injectors, 70mm mass air meter
* Special type exhaust manifolds
* Specially programmed EEC-IV

My H.O. must not be a 1985 because it is fuel injected. So maybe it is a 1986+. I will call the guy that im getting it from later and see for sure.

Did the police mod the engines at all, and if so...what did they do to the motor and trans?

Thanks!

I bet the 210/300 IS the police interceptor.

A stock EFI 351 is 210/315. The 302 is 50 less ci

Either way Cody,my 300 will still out-torque your H.O. lol.jk.It's cool that you're getting an Ho for your truck.Hopefully you can put it in sometime soon.

True that. 300 ftw.


Congrats on the new motor, I always liked those PI engines just because you dont see alot of them and they are built really well.
