I just bought a 94 F150 Xl with the 5.0 It has 37 inch tires... so i would like to get a little more pep in her step. I would like to build up the motor, but its slim pickins with parts for a 94 F150 5.0 So I would lilke to know what are the differences between the truck and the mustang version and if any parts are compatable with both.


Gotta have pics!

 

5.0 mustngs are built for hp, not tq, tq is what these trucks need

 

alrighty, well a new intake and maybe even a intake manifold, plus long tube headers will give me more tq

 

why don't you grab a 351 W from a wrecking yard and build that then perform a motor swap...




what gears are in the truck???

 

im not sure, is there a semi easy way to tell what gears they are?

 

lift rear end off ground-ratio of 1 revoulution of driveshaft in comparison of rotation of wheels

 

for gears decode the door jam sticker, i think theres one somewhere on this site.

 

let's hope it's been regeared considering the tire size and motor size...

 

Completely agree with you tarajerame. Had an 86 F250 with 351W, added an Edelbrock Performer RPM 800 carb and intake manifold topped with Pro Flo air cleaner and right away felt the increase in response and hp. Those motors are solid.
