302 4 brl intake question
I have an 84 F-150 stepside with a 302 2 barrel carb that is all stock besides a set of headers from a mustang. It also has an AOD tranny swapped in. My question is, is there a certain year that a Ford factory intake and 4 barrel carb from a mustang or other Ford vehiclee fit this motor and work? I understand the linkage for the kickdown might need to be fabricated. Just looking for more power with out spending a fortune on new parts. My budget sucks, besides I love old grassroots hotrodding. any info would be great!

All small block 4V intakes will fit on a 302/5.0L. The 1983-85 aluminum Mustang intake (which came with a Holley carb) is an obvious candidate.
Or you can use a cast iron 289/302 4V intake, they were made from 1963-68 and installed on various cars. Also a marine version was offered for many years after that.
Stock intakes are pretty cheap at swap meets these days.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I have a 302 also.
Paul, how would the cam you have suggested perform with the 77 stock 2 barrel intake, but using E7 or GT40 heads? And would changing the valve springs be absolutely necessary? I have a new 500 CFM 4412 holley carb, and full length headers.

The stock 4bbl and 2bbl intakes are pretty similar and neither could be considered a high performance piece so that's partly why I don't think a 4bbl swap is really necessary to get more power. Once the cam is changed the carb would have to be rejetted for sure, new valve springs would certainly be a good idea on an engine with some milage but they're not absolutely necessary if the current ones have low miles. The cam mentioned is bigger than a stock cam but it's still well within the capacity of the stock springs.
