My parents bought a new E150 clubwagon back in ‘94 with a 351W… that thing felt like it had twice the power of the ‘88 F150 351w my grandfather had. I know they both had the same gear ratios, but that ‘94 was just a beast.Dad had 2 351’s at the same time, a ‘96 bronco he bought new and a ‘94 F250 reg cab 4x4 he bought used. both ran stock tires, 3.55’s & the E4OD. The F250 had over 150K miles, the bronco might of had 40 when he got rid of it. The truck absolutely had more power than the bronco, pulled better more kick when you stabbed the gas from a dead stop. Didn’t make sence. But Ive had several 2.3’s and they all have been a little different from each other. The ‘94 truck still exists, its behind the barn. It spit out one of the spark plugs, power steering line rusted through & when it was last on the road it was starting to have transmission issues. Was a former oil field truck so it is a rusty mess underneath.
