RE: Power from 93 5.0
my 1995 f150 5.0 has an underdrive pulley kit and it was like $40.00 bucks on ebay and a shorter belt for about $20.00 . It took about 2 hours to install. I got instant power and better gas milage. You can also ditch the mechanical fan and get a Flex-a-lite electric fan . those big clunky old fans really take a lot of torque out of the engine. That ran about $250 and took the same amount of time. Get a tonnue cover for the bed too. That will cut back on the wind drag and you will see a boost in mileage also.
