Okay. My wife has finally given me permission to "lightly" modify our new to us 94 X. After digging around on here for quite some time, I decided to go and see about finding the basic parts for "waking up" a 4.0. I chased down a friend of mine that is constantly upgrading his old fox body 'stang, and asked him if he had any of the old engine parts left. Sure enough, he did.... thrown in the back of an S10 . Aw, well. With a price agreed upon of "get that crap outta my truck", I happily, nay, gleefully started throwing the parts into my old BII and hauled for home before Charles could figure out that he had just made my summer! So, that being said, I have the following parts going on the "X" this weekend: 'Stang MAF housing and cold air filter (Blue colored) maybe the throttle body, IF it will work... Anybody have any insight on this BEFORE I hack up any thing that I DO NOT need to) The rest of the stuff is going on the 331 powered '84 Ranger 4wd, as the heads that were in the back of the S10 are a set of cast iron (but FREE) GT40s, with a matching intake, and factory "shorty" style manifolds. So, I still have a list of things to get, but, I am that much more ahead ( yeah, there is a M5 waiting for the A4LD to dump... first hiccup and it is GONE. I AIN'T playin' with that stupid thing) He is also going to go see if his brother has any " junk stock stuff" that I can get.
