Sounds like you want to crank some serious times out of that X! Personally, I would go with the 5.4 or 351, both supercharged. Since an Explorer would be somewhat lacking for really high speeds, I would want a big, torquey motor to make up for that with killer holeshots. The 351 would...

Also, read thouroughly the "Best bang for the buck" thread below. Lots of good info on shift kits, chips, etc.

I had my suspicions about that being an Explorer... the grill fooled me, though. My tastes tend to run more towards the mean, PO'd looking trucks, but even I've got to admit that that's pretty wicked. Thanks for the tips.

You don't want to go past 110 without suspension mods, for your own safety. I got mine up to 115 stock, and if you've ever driven a car that really handled well over 110, you would know that a stock Expo really doesn't. That said, an aftermarket chip would take care of both your concerns. I...

Well, obviously I'm looking to build a fairly serious sport truck, or I wouldn't be here. What I'm looking to do is build an "all go, little show" type rig. Not what you could really call a sleeper, but a good deal more low-profile than your typical show truck. I've got a good idea of what...
