Hey everybody! Names Al, and I'm the proud owner of a 92 F150 4x4. Original 300 six/ 5-speed setup with 500,000 kms on the clock. Needless to say it's time for a rebuild or replacement. My question is this; Can I use a long block out of an older truck and just bolt my EFI setup on it or did they change something on the newer years? Any input will be appreciated as I don't really know much about the big sixes.

I'm pretty sure the long block will swap, just check your distributor, oil pan, smog holes on the head, and bosses for brackets.

500,000 km! thats like 312,500 miles, yet again another testament to the great 300!

300,000 then rebuild great news, 87-95 where the same you could also consider this kit, everthing you need for a rebuild.

Finally, someone else knows about these guys! I've given them plugs several times and it just seems like no one is paying attention. They may not have the selection of Summit or Jegs, but they have done alright by me and their prices are good, too!
