Ancient thread or am I dreaming?

Seems that they kept making them until replacement by the 4.6L 'modular' in
the restyled 2002 Explorer. The article also tells that the displacement did
not become 302 until 1968. Guess what it loses on one end, it gains on the
other. Overall, 34 years of service is a very respectable accomplishment,
any way you look at it.

1968 was the last year for the 289 and also the first year for the 302. I'm
not sure if they were both available at the same time, or if the 302 was a
mid year change.
