Summit is great if you know exactly what you want to order.

I like blue. Easier to spot an oil leak. I use Indian head gasket shellac on everything so it doesn't leak.

I'm extremely happy that the custom part was the same price as the standard production item. For a medium duty truck clutch disc, flywheel and pressure plate, $1,000 isn't a bad price. The high performance car stuff starts around that range.

The picture above is of the completed disc. It will fit the 6.0 flywheel and pressure plate. No additional charge for the custom hub center. $1,200 shipped to my door. Shipping charge is the expensive part.

Around Phoenix, AZ you can get a rust free 4th gen needing engine work for under $2,000. I see one on Facebook Marketplace for $1,200. You could buy the car and with shipping be well under $2,500 total.

A grand or so out the door, rebuilt is still cheaper than new. When the price spread shrinks, I start to think about new.

Seems like everyone wants new prices for used stuff.

Boost is addictive. If you go that route invest in an aftermarket block. Some would say it's not necessary but it should be looked at like an insurance policy.

In a way, it is. Having driven this motor in the LCF, I need a transmission with a tall overdrive. I'd be annoyed with the motor spinning 2500+ rpm at the speed limit on the freeway like it does in the box truck.

Correct, from a few angles. If the frame and suspension are sound, run it till it dies.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Correct. The frame is the steel rails in a bit. Can you post pictures of the frame at the rear leaf spring hangers?

The frame appears to be in a lot better shape than the body. The body can be cut and a replacement section welded in.

It's true. Cars are like a spouse.

You need a 5.0.

Sorry that this thread will be 60 pages long before a wrench ever touches the car. For the last few weeks I've been trying to get someone to make a clutch disc that would fit a 6.0 flywheel. The flat flywheel Everyone lists for the 6.0 isn't the correct one for the application I need and won't...

I bought an engine and transmission off Craigslist. Owner said the engine was locked up so he gave me the engine cheap with the transmission. Once they were separated the engine spun fine. I never looked at the transmission, scrapped it and got another.

I'd separate the transmission from the engine first.

That video is a psa for not buying cheap parts and also a psa why drugs are bad.

Charge back on a credit card will get their attention. The emails and call log history is enough evidence you attempted to resolve this directly with them but are unable to. This also lets me know to never order from them.

That dude either needs to do less drugs or more drugs cause the current amount of drugs he is doing isn't working for him.

I think cause of how much it sits, it is more likely an issue with air in the clutch system than something worn out.

Air pocket in the clutch master cylinder can cause this as well. There's videos on YouTube about this, no amount of bleeding seems to get that air out. You can pull the c clip and lift the rod up out of the master cylinder until fluid comes out then push the rod back in. Put a towel under it to...

That old plug looks like it was cross threaded. The $64k question is, will the new plug thread down tight. In the pictures, the threads in the head look ok.

While checking out the Merkur sites, lust over that upper intake. The valve covers on my Scorpio do not have the calibration sticker any longer.

Auto reset breakers are available that fit the fuse spot.

I'd unplug things one at a time till the fuse quits blowing. O2 sensors, then the trans solenoids then if it still blows dig into the evap solenoid. I hate tracing wires for a break or short.

I can't tell you the shape, every old Ford I've owned that sticker was long gone before I bought it. That oil buildup preserved it. https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/calibration-codes.html

A 05-10 Mustang block will work. Take the accessories off your current engine and move them over to the new block.

What kind of van?

Are you able to get screenshots of the camera looking down at the oil pump shaft?

I'm not saying it can't be done, just that others have noted differences.

Look at post #3 https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/5r55e-interchange-help-please.263513/

I've seen it mentioned here that there's differences between the 97 and 98 transmission.

Welcome Paul.

Do you have a code scanner?

5.0 2nd gen is in your future.

Not 180 off, more like a tooth or two off on the sprocket. Verify timing marks against tdc on the crank.

Your compression is around 40 on all 6 cylinders?

Thanks for the update.
