- 2003 Explorer XLT
Hello all. I’m building the 2nd craziest 4 door X I’m aware of existing.
Back in about 2006 this was the first explorer to wear a kenne bell, making 425 horsepower on a stock block. The prior owner was working on the next phase of the build when life happened. 7200 miles on the body.
I acquired it in January, and decided to go a little different direction with it.
It’s got a VT engines 8.5:1 block, ported heads, stage 2 blower cams, art carr 4r70w swapped, aeromotive a1000 fuel system, and I decided the right way to top that off was a D1sc procharger and an SVO intake ported to PI heads. Currently remote tuning with Mo’s Speed Shop, hoping to see 600hp on about 15lbs of boost. The fuel cell means the 3” exhaust has nowhere to go past the axle... so it’s got side pipes.
Then some other stuff too. Aviator brakes, 06 tails, etc.
