Got my attention, everything is better with boost!

Buy a house as soon as you're able to afford it, and as 94Eddie stated, invest as much as possible. I bought a house at 19, sold it when the market was hot in 2005. I bought my current house I 2007 and will have it paid off when I turn 47. I'll retire at 50.

Exactly. Life is too short!

A few I like that are in the 10-16% range are pnnt pflt DX agnc I've held those for 6+ years. I also like closed end funds. I'll buy at a discount.

I like dividend stocks. Some of my stock picks are paying 16% interest and have for years. Every 4-5 years the amount doubles.

Having a working heater is great for the cool mornings where the condensation forms on the glass and you can't see.

That could be dangerous. I worked at a place where I was the bucket truck operator, the truck was put into service removing old direct bury street light posts. The 200 lb rated tool basket rope and winch would do 8x that with ease so it was named Truck Norris.

There's a write up or two on the site on completed manual transmission swaps in 3rd and 4th gen explorers.

I'm glad to hear that. The power of compounding interest can turn a small investment into a large one over time. $10k invested at 18 will turn into a million at 65 at just over 10% interest which is easy to get in the stock market.

I like money, I'm a big fan of it. I have a little.

Sounds like you might need a 302

As RangerX said, post the axle door code. There's final drive calculators that will show you the rpm drop with larger tires.

Pictures or it didn't happen! Welcome back to the forum.

That's not a bad thing. Sometimes frustration is the motivation we need.

I'm wondering the temps also. A spread above 10 degrees is considered ok, 20 degrees would be a perfect condition cooling system

What's the price?

Yes, either a 302 or a 351W. Then then transmission choices are unlimited.

When I worked at a salvage yard, we'd take cars without a title, if the firewall was missing.

That's not good. Should be 10 to 15 degrees. I'm not sure what to advise, does seem like a lot of air in the system.

Still needs a M5OD transmission

Welcome to the forum. A 302 is a much needed upgrade over the 2.9

Genius idea!

Check the radiator inlet and outlet hose with a infrared thermometer to see what the temperature spread is.

Unless you need a T56.

Harbor freight has a tool for using an air compressor to put the coolant into the engine, works great for getting all the air out.

A laser thermometer would rule out blocked airflow with the radiator. Did you bypass the trans cooler in the radiator, or is it inline with the Hayden cooler? How often do you use a garden hose to get the dust out of the radiator fins?

Linglong Tires makes a decent product for the price. I run the Green Max semi truck tires made by them. They do wear a little quicker than a Goodyear, but I can buy 3 Green Max tires for the price of 1 Goodyear.

The Viper V10 fits. This Jeep needs, 500 cid, 500 hp and 500+ tq. I seriously wouldn't spend money fixing the 3.6. We could have a motor swap party at the BKennedy ranch in Kingman.

X2 for the 5.7 swap. In the near future, there's some positive changes about to happen that limit what carb can do.

I know the frustration.

The 351W was implied.

This reminds of the joke where the guy is concerned about his wife slowly losing her hearing so he consults his doctor. Doctor said to test her to determine how bad it is, when you get home ask her what's for dinner from 30 feet away, if nothing, then 20 feet away, etc until she hears you. So he...

When's the V8 going in?

Aged very well

The 5 stars says it's a good idea.

There isn't much space above the intake, just a few inches at the back where the body of the van is over the engine. The doghouse helps with rear access. Once the valve covers and intake comes off, there's plenty of room. Using a floor jack to lift the body off the subframe isn't too much...

I wonder how much the harness costs and how much is labor? Once there's water intrusion into the wire, it will oxidize and the resistance will go up.

Jamie said he wanted to 351W something, this maybe it!

The bottom end is barely broken in. That end will easily go 500k miles. Just replace the heads.

How many miles are on the engine?
