So seing that its a 1994 302 theres nothing really you can do preformance wise due to the odb1 system any upgrades like cam or turbo you will need a custom brunt ecu....
keep it stock swap out the rear end with a 2.73s get a K&N drop in filter like i said 100 times and better plugs wires and dizzy cap. because thats about all you will be able to do with 3k in your pocket....
last post im doing on this thread. you dont want to listen its fine with me Im sure theres other newbs that would greatly appreceate all of our collective expericne and listen..

I'm pretty sure that's an 8ft box. Take a tape measure to it kid, it isn't 10 feet.

The ten foot bed again...funny stuff. I think you're gonna feel a little sheepish when you break out the tape measure. I'd tell you a story about an employee I once had but it's too long. The story ends with him emphatically saying " I am not retarded" to a customer.

Like I said in the other thread, I think you have a broken tape. If it starts at 3ft it's not right.

Look here. Looks really close doesn't it? That's because it's an 8ft bed.

Check to be sure your tape measure is not metric bub...and not measuring diagonal like a tv or with the talgate down or because of the extended cab...just down one rail to the other rail on the same side....8 foot bed Ford has Never made a 10 foot bed for 1992-1996 f150s Period...
