Its a holley/motorcraft hybrid POS. 85's had em too. Bad things about the 79-85 models, 7.5 rearend, it doesnt hold up to any hard driving for very long. The puny 9" front rotors that over heat VERY easily. Youll want to upgrade to the 87+ 11.86" brakes. 84 specific, the HO motor in there is NOT a roller block, the T-5 is not a world class t-5, the '84 originally came with faux dual exhaust. Theres a Y-pipe that goes in to 1 big cat, then Y's back out after it. Also, factory installed suroof are nice, but make sure that the drain holes arent plugged up. Blow them out with compressed air, otherwise the sunroof will rust from the inside out. Youll never see it coming until it starts to bubble. Also, 1 more thing the drivers seats, where the back hinges to the base have a tendency of breaking/losing bolts. And if it has the 3 spoke TRX rims on it, tires are gonna suck to get. The rim diameter is 390mm, something along the lines of 15.9". You can only get michelin TRX tires for it.

RE: 1984?
Now, what is the aftermarket like? I know fuel-injected 5.0 parts are pretty cheap and that there are alot of different companies that make parts for them as well. Are there many aftermarket companies that make parts for the carb'd 302? Thanks for all of you help everyone, Ive only worked on older Fords so Fox bodies are new to me so Im sorry if Im asking too many questions.
