how hard to pull 5.0 engine from 1997 Explorer?
My Explorer was hit in the side and totalled last year, and I plan on using this engine in my Mustang with a cam and valve spring upgrade. I need to pull the engine/transmission, and later the wiring harness. What is the best way to pull the engine, and are there any tips/tricks you can suggest?- codycr6

conquest Conquests are inline 4's, not v4's, how do you know the Road Runner is a 10 second car? My car makes 500hp on motor and doesn't run 10's, and it weights around 100lbs less than the Road Runner.- codycr6

Samurai ?
I may be buying a 1992 Sammie from a friend of mine to somewhat replace my six inch lifted YJ I just sold. I just want it for sunny weekends and maybe playing around some off road. It has a spring over and some different springs(about 7 inches of lift), with 33x10.50 Buckshots. He has a hardtop...- codycr6

Rockford vs. JL Audio subs
sub question You definetly need to listen for yourself...that said, I own many subs, and currently have two 10W3 D-4's in my Explorer, wired for 1 ohm mono and using an Orion 225HCCA. Sounds great, but I am sure the Rockford's would sound very good in the proper box as well.- codycr6

How many ohms??
ohms ? There is no industry standard when it comes to high end factory head units with propreitary designs ! They are designed to function only with their built in hardware ! That said, you can upgrade, but I think the factory sub is a 6 ohm driver. You would be safe with a 6 or 8 ohm driver...- codycr6

B&M trans controller ?
controller Ok, I bought it and brought it home. Then I noticed that when I opened it that it had "GM" stamped on the main unit. Is this correct, or did they put the wrong one in the package ? The package says I have the correct one, but that "GM" stamp makes me nervous. Also, where do I find...- codycr6

Shift Kit/Enhancer Installed
I bought one of these today, but am nervous that it is the GM part they make for pickups and such instead of the proper one. I took it out of the package and it says "GM" embossed into the plastic module. Is this correct ? Also, I have a 1997 Eddie Bauer with the 5.0, where is the ECM ? I didn't...- codycr6
