What "flavor" of 5.0 in an '87 F150? November 18, 2005, 01:38:25 PM Does anybody know what "flavor" of 5.0 would have been put in an '87 F150? Carbed, FI, SO/HO? I may have an opportunity to get one very reasonably and wondered if it would be worth it for the motor. I think it does need a rebuild from the way it sounds. Thanks for the info.Fordman3 Quote Selected

Reply #1 – November 18, 2005, 01:45:36 PM Fuel injected, E7 heads, non roller cam that has the SO firing order, truck only intake (won't fit under passenger car hoods--the upper is very tall), 19 pound injectors, Bank/Batch fire injection computer system (fires all 4 cylinders of a bank together HO and SO are SEFI) Quote Selected

Reply #2 – November 18, 2005, 08:46:20 PM Although your question was already answered, according to this Consumer Guide to Used Cars thing I have (from '97), in '87 the only engine in the F-series trucks to be fuel injected was the 302. The 300 had a 1-barrel, the 351 had a 2 barrel, and the 460 had a four barrel. Weird eh? Quote Selected

In '86 it would be correct except for the the 2bbl 351, They were 4bbl, like the 460. I take my info from the factory Engine/Emissions Diagonstics manuals. Just by luck I have the '86 & '87 issues of it. Quote Selected
