302

kmpconley

Anyone who thinks the 302 better than the 300 must be crazy! The 300s torque is outta this world! The longevity of this motor can't even be compared to. I don't dislike the 302, but by all means, prior to 97 I wouldn't have any other motor in my Ford. The power that comes with a 300 is sick! I pulled a 318 V-8 Dodge 4x4 with my 2x4 300 Inline-6. Not bragging about the clutch I had to put in it about a month later from doing it, but I proved my point about the power of that motor! Granny Low in a 300 would be more powerful than 1st gear in a 4.6 or 5.4. The gas mileage maybe horrible, but I wouldn't trade it for the power. Not to be rude, but anyone who has the nerve to call a 300 gutless, must not know Ford Trucks.

i just dont understand it, iv driven probably 5 i6s over the last 3 years and hate em. i can see how they are more reliable but thats all im giving them. granted im comparing them to my 96 150 with the 302 in it.

189,788 miles to be exact on my 95 300. Wouldnt take it out right now for one of the best 302's new in a crate. Just my opinion. Best of it is i get about 18 mile per gallon in it. Wish I could say the same for Either of the 302's I've had. Truck is driven very little through the winter but during the summer months especially the last couple years, I go sometimes all summer and never unhitch my 6'x10' 1500lb trailer loaded with 2 huge mowers, weedeaters, etc and have had several trucks in the past that couldn't hold ol' red a light towing that load around as far as miles per gallon and torque goes.

300 hands down

300 for off roading no question. Touqe comes in low in the rpm range 4 in bore 3.98 stroke makes it a beast of a motor

300 hands down I own one and would never trade it for the 302.

My 93 302 never let me down. Just kept up regular maintenance on it. I knew some people who had the 300 and they didn't have any issues

GO 300-6 if you have the head off defiantly port it. On some of them the ports don't line up it makes big difference

If i was looking to buy and all things being equal, condition, mileage and so forth i would go 6. Its a bit easier to work on and can get great fuel economy when driven carefully. I'm not sure if I'd go right to gutless, but my 6 can do 0 to 60 in a mind blowing 15 seconds.

I'm sure someone can chime in about how it can tow this or that and made to run a 10 second qtr, but that's not the run of the mill 6. Its a reliable turtle.
