I just got a 94 f150 2wd pickup with a 5.0, it has 221000 miles and is tired i'm going to buy a new long block engine for it but was wondering what i could do as far as getting some more torque out of it. I will be hauling a car trailer with a 3000lb car on it, probably up to 10 times a year. Also i was interested in what it would take to put a 5.8l in it. If anybody has any info i would appreciated it. I have already planned on putting some gears in it. Oh yeah its an automatic.

 

I'd swap a 5.8 in there. That would be a big improvement and wouldnt be that hard..

 

what would i need to change to run the 5.8l

 

exhaust manifolds would mate up different so you would need to modify that. EFI I would think most everything is plug and play. Dont know about the computer and all. Maybe some one who has experience with doing that swap will speak up..

 

Hey thanks for the info.

 

why not run some true dual exhaust VS modifying the stock Y-pipe??
