    289 HiPo Exhaust Manifolds???

    Are we still without headers for the 5.0 Explorers

    I have been following anything I could find about headers being built by OBX or anyone. I've heard about the group buys, but not sure how to get involved with them. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

    This stupid tach.

    Guys, would I be ok to pick up a tach signal from the tan/yellow wire on the back of the gauge cluster? I noticed that if you look careful it says tach right on the printed circuit board.I'm thinking that if I cut the tan/yellow wire and install the green wire that I will be ok. Please help.

    Could you guys give me some advise

    If I install a 5.0 in my 98 Sport {stock engine}, will I see any performance increase? Its for the sake of having the V8 in there, the sound, etc. Just a sweet overall package. Thanks in advance.
