    Hello Everyone, Explorer build front to back, few questions.

    Just as a fun fact, I lived in Avondale for 3 years.... that's actually where my girlfriend bought the explorer!

    Hello Everyone, Explorer build front to back, few questions.

    FR-425..... This is awesome. Needed to find someone like you to discuss the trans part of my build. I knew there was something going on with the pressures between OD and D. Probably why my seal pushed out then... was pulling that trailer in OD. I will have to think about the drive reduction...

    Hello Everyone, Explorer build front to back, few questions.

    On their site they have 2 options for convertors... The first one II'm assuming is a 1600 stall. The second one they list gives an option for stall speed with the lowest being 1800. That sound right? I will give them a call. Sure appreciate all the info, I'm looking forward to hearinghow yours...

    Hello Everyone, Explorer build front to back, few questions.

    Also forgot to mention this: to combat the extra heat that goes along with a cast iron head, i plan to run a 180 degree thermostat, and one range colder plug. It still won't perform like an aluminum head, but it's better than how it would be completely stock.

    Hello Everyone, Explorer build front to back, few questions.

    Megasquirt would allow me to get more power, eliminate detonation, and tune every single thing to get the best mileage. You don't need to run race gas with 13:1 compression, and actually you would add timing. E85 is race gas. Better, actually, as it cools the intake charge more than race gas. I...

    Hello Everyone, Explorer build front to back, few questions.

    I will be doing most of those things as well. I have some of those things installed already, like the Torrington bearings and hardened drum, and the torque convertor I am buying will be theirs... but what stall? And i may not need to handle any additional power if I don't go E85 route...

    Hello Everyone, Explorer build front to back, few questions.

    Everything that is done to that A4LD is the same exact parts I would put into mine. I have rebuilt many auto transmissions, the work is easy. I would actually be buying the ultimate kit from that company. I can save about 1900 by doing the work myself.

    Hello Everyone, Explorer build front to back, few questions.

    Thats a great idea but a civic won't pull my trailer haha. And I want to keep the A4LD, mine is definitely rebuildable. I dont need a new engine from a junk yard either, mine is in great shape. I want to know if anyone has experience with higher compression running a different cam and the...

    Hello Everyone, Explorer build front to back, few questions.

    Let me start by saying hello to everyone. I have been coming here often after acquiring my '93 Explorer Sport, and now have some questions to hopefully be answered. I have searched all these things individually, but not finding the answers that pertain to my certain application. First of all...
