You have all the standard bolt ons. Time for a hair dryer.

How did you like the OBX headers? I went with cast iron.

Hair drying is fun Yeeyeee

Blower, Turbo....or maybe a Mustang?

what about aluminum heads? You can make some good power with head upgrades on these 302's

 

[vroomzoomboom]

better yet, how light are you willing to make your wallet. trying to make these trucks fast,or get more power out of them isnt for the faint at heart

 

[Dono]

I wonder if a set of gears would accomplish the goal?

Stroked, Blown 349

That output is from Desktop Dyno, was fun to play with, but the output was around 12% to the optimistic side (measured at the flywheel). This old build of mine was designed to be torquey, not a spinner, running a mild cam, big heads, headers, 9lbs. and was in a Bronco. I towed with it and played 4X4, it later became a rock crawler, the low end torque served well with ZF 5 speed, Atlas II, 5.38's, on 40's.......................scuse me....won't go on.

This is a 351W with headers and the same cam. It should be very close to the 349 for output.

These Explorer set-up are constipated, good headers make more sense first before heads or other exhaust work.
You got a good start on your engine build but what gearing are you running and wheels?

Does the tuner allow for transmission tuning? More aggressive shifting, later, harder???
