    98 5.0 into a, um, focus ;) (Need some questions answered and some help)

    Ok I'll deal with making it legal when it's done.... I've been thinking about a 331 stroker now. This should still be totally possible in an explored engine right?

    ^^ although that's a 351, it's about the same lol. OH but for anyone else......that car's gone a long LONG way. It's now bored out to a 408 [;)]

    hmm too bad mine's an 02, even though 00-04 models were the same. SO if you guys wouldn't mind helping me still, this is what I pulled from the UT DMV page about rebuilt vehicles.... can anyone make any sense of this (better than I can) because I think if I do this can't my car just be special...

    OOH..... I had a good idea (sorry for stacking posts....I don't usually like to do that) What if I were to hook all sensor wiring and whatnot up to the explorer ecu to have a proper running engine, and just patch/splice my current harness wiring for emissions to the explorer's wiring harness...

    damn...... and after 01 they pretty much stopped all non-modular engines, huh? I wonder if I could still get it to pass if I find an explorer 5.0 dated november of 01? hmm I dunno if those exist; they'd be technically 02s which was what I was trying to trick the device into thinking anyway...

    yeah that's true, it's what I was looking at first..... I have better access to the 302s though. I saw something of an 05 mustang the other day with the Boss 302 emblem. Just a name now?

    OK didn't even know anything about the GEM till now, I'm assuming my car currently has one then since it's non-engine. NOW I'm wondering something else.... anyone know what post 02 fords have a 302 in them? I bet I can say it was a crate engine (or engine from that vehicle) and use the ECM for...

    OK I suppose I did only put half the story in.... I'm working on finding a correct T-5 transmission that will be running to a 90's cougar IRS with CV axles out the rear, considering the Focus is FWD right now. There is a possibility that if this wrecked mustang at the junk yard is a manual...

    Hi all, I figured this would be the best place to ask anyway. I've been gaining some info on small block fords in general, and now I'm starting to look at parts before I start. What I pretty much have to do: -get the 98 engine from the junkyard -pull it apart to check out condition...
