Hey /o/. I wanna buy an f150 off one ofmy dads friends, it has a 302 5 speed in it.
it apparently runs good, but the floors are rotten and needs replacing, I've been told i can buy new floor panels with it for about 200$.
so, how much time should it take to fix the floor if i buy floor panels?

don't buy it. it's a 302. worthless truck motor, great for building up into a racer though.

what makes it so worthless??? every 5.0 F-150 ive driven is bad ass! the only real advantage to the 4.9 is that its somewhat more reliable... but an american push rod V8 is NEVER a bad truck motor!

I have a 300...wish I had a 351 sometimes....but never a 302. 300 is oodles more reliable, and can pull a fuckload harder. 302 is fast, and fun, but it's just not a good truck motor. try a 351. more power, lower power, and a wee bit more high-end power. should probably take mods just as well.

try running your 302 without oil. without oil. then say the 300 is just "somewhat more" reliable. =D

another thought. go ahead and get a 302 if you're not going to use it as a work truck. you've got an oversized Mustang...but at least you can fit something larger than a pencil in the back =D

351 is a good motor, but really should be reserved for F-250's. even my 300 can pull more than the rest of my F-150 can =(
and a 302 isn't really a bad-ass V8....too small....can't argue with that V8 sound though, 300 still sounds like crap =P

yeah... your proll rite ass my buddies 5.0 is a short bed that we just use for halin ass, but never much else... and i guess my F-350 has never felt under powered with the 300, even with a ton or so of shit out back (12' dump bed)... yeah id prolly go for the 300 my self, but i sure as hell wouldent mind a 302 lol... also off topic about that 351, my buddy just bought a '69 F-250 Camper Special with the 351 (only year for this generation?) as loaded as a '69 f-250 could be! even has A/C! although im sure thats a dealer instal over a factory, but still a sick truck with very little rust! oh and he picked it up for $300 from a good friend of ours... i was like DEAL! lol

it really depends on what you are using the truck for. I have a shortbed also, but it's my towing vehicle for work. in my opinion though, no reason to get a 302 over a 351 except to save a bit of gas, and maybe some higher end tuning power? 302's have higher power bands if i recall.
~300. powerful. bulletproof. will pull ANYTHING from a stop with 4x4 low-range. anything. I think they came on F-350's even. but slow as fuck. kinda suck on the highway.
~302. loud. fast. modded easily. not as bad as mpg as 351 but just as bad as 300. can't pull from the start for crap, but a little better for highway pulling.
~351. 302 with some, good low-end power. very torque-y, nice overall powerband. absolutely no mpg.

how much time? that's a retarded question. a more appropriate question is whether or not your currect experience level is capable of doing that.

they call it a f150, coz when you see it, you will turn 150 degrees and walk away

I would be cautious. Floor panel damage can indicate more serious problems. Make sure to carefully inspect the manifold.

I had big holes in my 95 Cherokee's floor, so I took out the carpet, riveted a piece of steel to the floor, and put the carpet back.

Problem solved.
