Ihave a 92 302 HO in my jeep cj_7 and i love it. Is an easy swap and not to expensive. You get 225 HP and close to 300 pounds of torque. Now on your ford truck you may want to consider a bigger engine like the 351 or bigger(your truck is bigger and heavier that my cj). Now if you have the 302 and have enough funds, then you can make the little 302 pull like a big block.
