5.0 is a 302 cubic inch, auctly it is 4.9 but ho means high output, it is just somthing that ford did from i think 1986-1993 but im not shure when it started, all it means is 302 high output

opps i was a lil wrong on the years but like i said it means 302 high out put, nothing really in the motor is different, but it use the 351w fireing order and 1987-1992 had forged pistions only some 92 had forged pistions not all did.
