302/c4 out of a econoline worth the effort?

[DA///nick]

hey everyone
my buddy is selling a older econoline with a 302 and c4 that i could get for real cheap. not sure on how miles are on it but ive drove it before and shifts smooth and runs fine with no visual or probelms i feel when driving. my question is is the carb 302 and c4 worth the effort putting in my ranger or find another 302? does a econoline differ from any other 302's?

thanks for the help

That 302 is just fine, its not a roller motor but thats not a big deal.

roller?

My 94 302 is a roller what year did the rollers start??

[DA///nick]

what is a 302 roller?

[BRINGTHERUCKUS]

I think it was to do with cams and what not....but a 302 is really good sure its a c4? if possible a c6 would be better.

[DA///nick]

yeah im sure its a c4
ford 150's came with c4's
250s and up came with c6 i belive

[BRINGTHERUCKUS]

not true.... it depends on motor and options

Ford started equipping the 302 with the roller style cam in 1985.

for sure
anyway if it runs good and everything checks out i should be worth it?
are preformance parts avaliable for '76?

[BRINGTHERUCKUS]

yes parts are available, you can make good power out of a 302. itll be perfect for a ranger.

I am pretty sure the intake won't work. Unless you plan on cutting you hood. You'll need the explorer intake to clear the hood.
