What kind of engine could I fit in my 89 f150? How big could i go? What's reasonably priced, easy to install, but still powerful?

 

you could put a 460 in there, it's the same exact body as an F250 and F350.

 

ok...what would you put in there? do you have any idea on how engines are priced? where could i find out?

 

if it was me i would go with a 351 that way i could keep it efi(assuming you have a 5.0) so it would be easy to do. you could go over to carb so you don't have to deal with the limitation of speed density though. a 351 built right can put out some horsepower. if you want a power house then you could go with a 460 and just upgrade the front suspension, to compensate for the added weight.

 

A 351 sounds good. I'm not looking for something so huge I need to beef up the suspension alot, but thanks for that info. How do I go about finding out about retail on an engine and where to get it? What should I look for? Thanks for putting up with my stupidity when it comes to this stuff.

 

we all gotta learn somehow. Check aroudn for engine suppliers in your area. Check your local chapteer of fte and see if they can reccomend any good places.

 

ok. thanks alot
