Engine

Nestled beneath the hood is one of Ford’s most respected small-block engines: the 302 cubic-inch V8.

Fed by a 4-barrel carburetor and paired with the proven C4 3-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain delivers smooth, dependable performance that’s perfectly suited for relaxed cruising or weekend road trips. Aftermarket valve covers, an aftermarket air cleaner assembly, and a throaty aftermarket exhaust add visual appeal and unmistakable V8 character, while upgraded rear shock absorbers contribute to improved ride quality. Together, these upgrades transform this classic F-100 into a truck that’s every bit as enjoyable to drive as it is to admire.
