Resolved 1990 Engine wiring connectors

Easy, it just took some searching on the F150 forums I am on. I’m no guru by any means.

Interesting thing is appears that most SBF blocks from about 92 and up (still researching the first year) in the F150’s are roller motors. The ones before that year have the bosses for the spider but either are not drilled and tapped or are drilled and tapped but they put flat tapper cams in them.

To my knowledge all 85 and up 5.0 Mustangs are roller motors. At least the motor I used out of a wrecked 85 GT was.

Okay, from what I can tell all of the 302 blocks in the F150's (not sure about the vans and/or Broncos but I would assume it would hold true for them as well) from 1985/1986 are roller capable blocks. In 1992 Ford started putting roller cams in the F150's (again, not sure about the vans and/or Broncos). This is all from searching in the F150 forums. Several guys used blocks from late 80's and 90's F150's for roller motors.

After 1991, ford used the F1SE block across the board. It was even designed with a provision for the F150s knock sensor.


So it’s roller capable…

So would it be that only the 99-01 Explorers would have this block? Im pretty sure the 302 was longer available in the Mustangs or F150’s past 1995.

Sorry had a typo in my original post.

But yes, after 1995 it was just the explorer for the US market.

I assume the aussies used it as well but they always get cooler .
