    1991 v8 swap and other stuff

    WOOO!! got the motor today. Took forever because of the storms in the north east lol. It looks insanely huge compared to the stock motor, like twice as big :D. Steering is going to be interesting, maybe just flip the manifolds and go twin turbo. How does a 600 rwhp explorer sound haha. So the...

    1991 v8 swap and other stuff

    Decided on the lq4 6.0l motor. From the dimensions i have found and seeing the oil pan it should fit in without to many problems. Changed my mind from the th350 to the 4l60e, overdrive = higher axle gears and still be able to drive on the highway :). Depending on how much $$ i have left over...

    4.0 ohv block blueprint??

    yea i gave it to my sister, (a person that u need to ask if she plugged something in) and she was able to read the gasket and put them on the correct side..... you dont even need to know which side is left or right, they worded it dummy proof. He musta not even looked at the gaskets.

    4.0 ohv block blueprint??

    yea i have 2 vehicles and 3 sets of heads/ headgaskets infront of me it blocks opposite wholes, if you put of wrong side it blocks the back and opens the front, on the correct side the backs are open and fronts are blocked, ill get some pics as soon as i find my phones usb cord :/

    4.0 ohv block blueprint??

    well the felpro ones that were put on there have part numbers on them stating left and right side gaskets and they are both very different, and even have it writen on each gasket. I was able to fit both gaskets on either side, if you put them on opposite sides they block different ports.

    4.0 ohv block blueprint??

    I had work done on 1 of my explorers a while back. Basically they installed the head gaskets of the wrong sides......... cylinder 6 now has a cracked wall right where the water was being block. I am trying to find a blueprint so that I can prove that just because water was being blocked there...

    http://diagrams.hissind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/EEC-Wiring-Diagram.jpg other than the nuetral safety switch and vehicle speed sensor, connection 41 to the tcs is the only thing that seems to be involved with the transmission. Is all the info the tcs needs to determine shift times...

    rs9000x shocks, what resistance # to run

    read up on your page, looks like u cut off the coil bracket and put in f250 mounts, awesome colors on your rig btw. That looks like a ez weld free solution, but i also plan on running dual shocks up front so i can ditch my sway bar, can i use a f250 mount in front of the spring as well?

    rs9000x shocks, what resistance # to run

    stock lift atm but i plan on 2 inches when they are put on, 16 1/4" - 22 1/2" on the front 20 1/2" - 32 1/2" on the rear. The rear looks like they will bolt right in. measured from center of the eyes. stock fronts are 11 1/2 - 15 3/4.

    rs9000x shocks, what resistance # to run
