I have a 77 302 and i was wondering how much power it had and what it redlines at?

Welcome to the site! This is from a web page I found: "1977 King Cobra Mustang II package that came with a 2-bbl 8.4 compression 302 V-8 that was rated at 139 hp at 3,600 rpm and 250 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpms."

You have to remember to- in '77 that much as little as it seems, was magnificent for stock.

Here is a post that i made a while back about the 5.0's. this should give you more than enough info to make a decision on which year 5.0 is best for you.

 

 

IMO' date=' the best 5.0 engines are the 89-92 engines. The86-88 use Speed density(unless its a california car, in which case it runs mass air which is a good thing) and 93-95 use crappy Hypereutectic pistons.

 

79-84

-175hp rating

-non-roller blocks

 

85

-first roller block

-600-cfm Holley carb

-210 hp rating

(automatics still used CFI)

 

86

-roller block

-forged pistons

-first year of speed density(not a good system)

-stiffer block

-crappy heads

 

 

87-88

-roller block

-forged pistons

-First year of the E7TE heads which are pretty good for a stock head.

-still uses Speed density

-225hp rating

 

89-92 engines(88 california cars have mass air too so they are good as well)

-forged pistons

-roller cam

-mass air(much better than the speed density that came with the 88-below cars)

-225hp rating

 

93

-changed to Hypereutectic pistons

-power drop to 205hp

 

94-95

-HO engine with E7TE heads

-Hypereutectic pistons

(not sure about power rating)

 

 

hope that helps[/quote']
