Hey there. My name's James, I'm 20 and live in California. I'm probably going to get a Bronco here soon, but I wanted your guys' impressions on it first if I may. It's a '95 XL with the 5.0 EFI. I've had experience with 302's in Mustangs, but never in a truck, nor have I ever driven an injected one. How does it hold up? Does it perform adequately(0-60 in <10sec. or so), or is it a total dog in a truck the size of a Bronco? I have heard that it's somehting of the redheaded stepchild in the truck lineup, with neither the torque and longevity of the straight six, nor the pure power of the 351. It has 98k miles, and assuming it's been well-maintained, how many miles should I expect out of it? I really want this truck and I hope you guys can point me in the right direction, and I'll definitely stick around if I get her. Thanks!

Theres only a 20 hp difference between the 302 and 351 keep in mind its a 3 ton beast and anything that size isnt going to keep up with a mustang

also i test drove a couple 302's and they do not have much power off of the line at all, but to agree with bluesman, it doesn't matter if you've got a 460, a mustang is gonna beat you anyway
