I have just bought a 1992 ford flareside, i want to replace the bench seat with 2 bucket seats i found on amazon. Any thoughts? Youll probly think im dumb but also i was just curious could you fit a small block chevy motor in the 1992 ford flareside.

thanks jacob

 

I've swapped buckets with benches and the other way round from Jeeps to Blazers to Fords. Just need a drill and at most a welder with some eazy brackets.

Umm, you could fit a SBC with a different tranny, mounts, harness, controls, ect, but why?

i just want to make it alot faster it only has the 5.0l v8 in it and i would like to be going faster but not spend ALOT of money. any ideas? and thankws for the bucket seat answer

 

its a computerized pickup, it's gonna be expensive no matter what you do. if anything find a used 351 and tear it down, clean it up and run it. Cheapest, and most effective for the 150's in that era.

 

does anyone know what chevy motor i could fit in it knowing id have to change some things?

 

Did you not just read what we had just told you... If you wanted a chevy you should have bought a chevy. you would need to an entire wiring loom, brackets, motor and tranny swap, and alot of cash spent just to get it to RUN.

 

do you think i could supercharge the truck and yeah i read it.
no need to be an azz about it im asking and learning

 

So why would you ask the same question over when we gave an answer?

What is your budget for this build?

yes you can get a supercharger, but you will need to look HIGH and low for the damn things. i dont think there are many for the 302 out there...

 

Lol! Putting in a SBC was even an option when trying to be on a budget?

 

budget is around 800. so im thinking getting some headers, exhaust, and a performance chip. any thing else i could do that would be pretty cheap??

 

ok no preformance chip, they are worthless on vehicles. headers and exhaust will eat up most of that 800.

 

performance chips do nothing at all?

 

Ya gots lots of learnin' to do on Ford EEC-IV EFI systems. I recommend you start to read and really understand the info at http://oldfuelinjection.com/

For sure with a budget under 1500 forced induction is out of reach. 800 is a good amount to keep handy for the basic care and feeding of a 20 year old truck.

If ctrl-alt-del tuning is all you want to play with, yer gonna need to trade trucks and move upstairs to the '97+.

i do have alot of learning to do, im 15... and im learning as fast as i can, but just another question, on this 302 if i put a cam and headers on it do you think it would give me 100hp or more. and another question is would i be able to put nos in it?
