salans7 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 The 1985 F-Series brochure says the 5.0L EFI was "optional in F150 and F-250 models under 8500 GVWR." Well there you go then. That answers two questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salans7 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Yep By 1986 that seems to have changed because the 86 brochure lists the EFI 302 as standard and says nothing about an optional carburetor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'85 was a transition year. Last of the carb'd 302's. Last of the idiot lights since in '86 you got gauges or gauges. First of the burled wood. First of the DIN radios. First of the D60's?

Rembrant Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 The 1985 F-Series brochure says the 5.0L EFI was "optional in F150 and F-250 models under 8500 GVWR." And even then, it was only early 1985 wasn't it? I thought Vinny said at one point that any 302 in a truck with a build date of 02/85 and later was EFI....or mostly all EFI. My M5OD came out of a 1991 F250 with a 302...it was a 2wd truck though, so one of those light duty F250's I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right; only the early model 5.0/302 engines still had a [feedback] carburetor. According to my 1985 Ford F-Series brochure, EFI replaced it in November, 1984.

Frank Wyatt Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Not bad for the price. But it seems strange to have a 302 w/an AOD in an F250. Has the extremely rare to find side trim. And the A/C compressor is AWOL. Plus the right door panel appears to have been painted and is wearing off. But overall, it is in good shape. The '85 F250 I had back in 1998 had he 302 with AOD auto and the semi float style Dana axle in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
