The 1982 model year brought a new 5.0 High Output variation of the 302. Mustangs and [[Mercury Capri]]s with manual transmissions were equipped with two-barrel carburetors in 1982, then got a four-barrel Holley carburetor for 1983–85. The block got revised, taller lifter bosses to accept roller lifters, and a steel camshaft in 1985. Electronic sequential fuel injection was introduced in 1986. While sequential injection was used on the Mustang beginning in 1986, other car and truck models continued to use a batch-fire fuel injection system. The speed-density based [[engine control unit|ECU-controlled]] electronic fuel-injection (EFI) systems used a large, two-piece, cast-aluminum manifold. It was fitted on all 302 engines through 1988, after which it was phased out for a [[mass flow sensor|mass airflow sensor]] (MAF) system in most applications. Non–California compliant [[Ford Panther platform|Panther platform]] cars kept the speed-density system until the Lincoln Town Car got the 4.6&nbsp;L OHC Modular V8 for model year 1991, and the [[Ford Crown Victoria|Crown Victoria]] and Mercury Grand Marquis for 1992.

The same manifold was used in MAF applications, with the addition of the MAF sensor in the air intake tube. The MAF system continued, with minor revisions, until the retirement of the engine in 2001. Ford offered a performance head that was a stock part on 1993–1995 Mustang Cobra models and pre-1997&nbsp;½ Ford Explorers and [[Mercury Mountaineer]]s equipped with the 5.0&nbsp;L engine called the GT40 head (casting ID F3ZE-AA). In mid-1997, the Explorer and Mountaineer 5.0&nbsp;L heads were revised and renamed GT40P. The GT40P heads, unlike the GT40 heads, had a very well-developed port shape which yielded about 200&nbsp;cfm on the intake side and 140&nbsp;cfm on the exhaust side without increasing the size of the ports from the standard E7TE castings, and without increasing the exhaust valve size. These highly-efficient heads also had smaller 59–61&nbsp;cc combustion chambers for added compression, and the combustion chamber shape was revised to put the spark plug tip near the center of the chamber for a more even burn.
