I was looking at the 1996 Ford F-150 owners manual and it shows for the
4.9 liter / 300 cubic inch inline ( straight ) six cylinder engine that it either
had a 650 CCA or the optional 850 cold cranking amp battery
O.E. group size 75 for this car. Battery needs to be 700 cold cranking amps and 875 cranking amps. Usually around $70.00 with core.

The specification calls for 650 cold cranking amps (CCA) - but with batteries: more is better.
For the 5.4 liter V8 engine in a 2001 E-350 the owners manual shows that the optional battery is 750 cold cranking amps ( they also show that the 6.8 liter V10 engine has a standard battery that is ( 650 cold cranking amps ) and the optional battery is ( 750 cold cranking amps )
The cold cranking amps that are required to start your Ford 2.5 liter engine is dependent upon the outside temperature. 450 cranking amps are required at a temperature of 32 degrees.
