Anyone try using James duff swap headers or mustang shorty headers on a second gen 5.0? I really want headers but won't pay the torque monster price.

Just finished my manual 4406 swap yesterday and cant find what wires I need to tie into for the 4x4 lights on the dash. Any help would be great.

Hey everyone. Been a while since I was on here last but I need some help. Got a 2000 5.0 with awd. Replaced all balljoints last week, cranked the torsion bars and put shakles in the rear. Put 31" Goodyear wrangler duratracs on it and got it aligned. After all was done, I'm getting a nasty...

So i just picked up a 94 explorer with 80k miles on it. 4.0, auto. The guy that i got it from eliminated the egr by blocking it off on the intake and on the exhaust manifold. When you first start the truck it runs like crap until it warms up, then it smoothes out but has no power at all...

Iv looked all over the web and cant find much info on big block swaps into rangers. I had a guy call me the other day and he wants me to build him a big block ranger. He has an 83 ranger. He wants me to build a new frame for it out of C-channel for some reason.... It will have a 9" rear...

Hey guys, I got a 99 explorer sport that is a 5 speed. I was thinking about trying to put a full lenth console into it. Has anyone attempted this on a 5 speed truck before? I just need to know if the opening in the console will be big enough for the shifter to be able to move through all...

Hey everyone. I have been parting out my explorer for the last couple months, and I am sick of the truck just sitting in my yard. So....... In the next few days I will be starting a complete transformation on the truck. I am going to put my 302, and C6 back in it. The truck will have a 4"...

Hey, about a month ago I noticed that the passengerside shackle on my 90 ranger was broken. I didnt fix is, and I have just been driving it really carefully. Earlier today i was driving it down the road after I rolled it over on saturday, and the drivers side shackle broke. Is this a normal...

Hey, I just picked up an 89 thunderbird about 4 hours ago. Its got the 3.8, auto, interior is mint, exterior is good except for one big dent on drivers side. Runs great, but I am going to pull the motor out and stuff a 302 in place of the 3.8. Car has alot of power actually; Iv been doing...

Does anyone know what stock manifolds will fit on a 302 in an explorer. The F150 manifolds that I have, dont allow me to hook up my steering :fire:

As most of you know I just did a 302 swap into my 92. Now, the C6 that i had in the truck was junk, so I got a 4 speed. Has anyone ever stuck a 4 speed manual in an explorer? Is there anything I need to do majorly to make it fit into the truck? My only major concern is the placement of the...

Hey everyone. I decided it was finally time to get rid of the 4.0 and swap in a 302. I have the motor and tranny in the truck already, and I am starting to hook everything up. Im using a carbed 302 from an 83 F150, a C6 tranny, and a Borg Warner manual T-case. What I need to know is, what is...

On friday night I was driving, and I started having problems with the clutch in my hyundai excel. It started getting really hard to put it into gear, and after a while it was nearly impossible, and the clutch wasnt disengauging at all. I would put the clutch down, but when I would hit the gas...

Hey, I just finished bolting my dana 44 solid axle onto my 86 F150, and I was going to replace the front brakes today, but I cant get the manual hubs to come off. Is there a trick to removing these? They dont just slide off like the explorer hubs. Do I need to remove the end cap on the hub...

Hey everyone. I am currently doing a dana 44 swap on my 86 F150, and I am trying to figure out an easy way to use heim joints for the ends of the radius arms. Do you think it would be possible for me to use a female heim joint and just thread it onto the end of the radius arm? I dont have a...

Hey everyone. I just started a dana 44 swap on my 86 F150. It is going pretty good and I am just about ready to mount the radius arm brackets. I know Im going to have problems with the steering linkage though. The part that wont fit is the tie rod that goes from the pitman arm to the...

I was talking to my uncle tonight, and he said about 5 years ago he got an old cadillac car from some guy who owed him some money. The car is a 67' with around 60k miles on it. He is guessing it has either a 400, 427, 429, 454, 460, 500, or 502 in it. He is sure that it is a carbed motor...

Hey there everyone. I have been doing some looking for a lift for my 86 F150. I talked to the guy that bought my explorer back in november, and he has a 6" lift made by superlift that will fit my truck. This includes the coils, brackets, pitman arm, and extended radius arms. He wants $350...

Well, I got another car tonight. I bought a 91 Hyundai Excell for $150 :) . Its got a 1.5 liter motor, and a 4 speed manual. Very little rust, and a spotless interior. It just needs a new battery, and I need to adjust the clutch. How do I always manage to find cheap cars? Its weird.lol. I...

Hey everyone. I got an 86 F150 and im trying to figure out how to lift the front end about 3". Coil spacers only give you 2", and I dont feel like paying a hundred bucks for some rubber pieces to lift it. I am trying to make some metal spacers and I think it is gonna work. Anyone have any...

Hey everyone. I was driving home tonight in my 89 cavalier, and all of a sudden the car just died. It started right back up and the motor would just cut out occasionally. I could get the car up to 45 sometimes and the motor would just cut out for a second repeatedly. I dont know what the...

Hey everyone. I sold my explorer on 11/4, and yesterday I bought a new truck. It's an 86 F150. I was looking for a truck that I could drive this winter, and something I could use in the mud this summer. I found it. 86 F150-Fuel injected Windsor 302, 4 speed manual, manual T-case, regular...
