first off: Ford added Efi to the 300 and 302 in 1985. They added EFI to the 351 and 460 in 1988. Do you have a preference for an engine? 302 or 351? They are the best for a F-150. Someone told me that the bell housings for the small block's are the same. But I DO know that you will need to change the fly wheel. Youll get better help wiht this at (www.ford-trucks.com) Some people have done the 300 to V-8 swaps there!
