Yea, I'm calling the 302 a car engine because it IS a car engine as is the 4.6 and 5.4. The only "truck engine" in our years is the 4.2, which was stroked and modified as a truck engine by Ford for torque, but it still ain't a truck engine to me even if it does have almost the same torque and HP as the 4.6 V8.
To put another no torque gutless wonder in the truck is a waste of time and money, in my opinion.
For no problems and simple, I would put a diesel like a Cummins 4 in the truck and be done with it, or simply fix the problem in the 4.6.
But it's his truck and he wants the 302, I hope it makes him happy.
Just don't say I didn't try to warn him.
