    OD off light flickering, no codes

    Hi all. I rebuilt a 4r70w rear wheel drive trans when I changed my Ex from AWD to RWD. Really runs nice, put a heavy duty shift kit in it, added the 1/2 2/3 shift accumulator update, and used a good quality rebuild kit. Also, I installed a new converter, stock stall, that is supposed to handle...

    CEL flickering

    My CEL started flickering after I had #7 plug wire burn on the header and I ran on 7 cylinders for a few miles. I replaced the wire and cleared the code with my SCT tuner that I used to tune my engine after the 347 build. There are no codes, the engine runs perfect, and the mileage is good, but...

    AWD to 2WD

    I've decided I don't need AWD in North Carolina. I removed the front diff, axle shafts and front drive shaft. I have rebuilt a 2wd 4r70w with updates that I will install next.

    347 updates

    You may remember awhile back I was installing a 347 in my 97 Ex. Had some problems with the TMH's, the spark plugs wouldn't go in after the headers were installed. They were for the GT40 heads, I have the P heads. I put the iron manifolds on, got an SCT tuner and the appropriate software. My...

    Torque Monster headers install problems

    Hey guys, I hope you can help me. I finally got my 347 installed in my 97 Ex. A friend did the machine work and I told him no rush as I kept the 97 engine in the truck while he worked over the 2000 long block for me. Everything that could go wrong, did. The block is different, the integrated oil...

    97 5.0 long block

    Selling my 5.0 long block as I've built a 347 for my Ex. It has 121k miles on it, used Mobil 1 oil and has been changed regularly. The timing chain is surprisingly tight. Uses no oil, and runs great. Can be used as is, or rebuild it. What you get: Block, rotating assembly, roller cam, lifters...

    Stroked 2000 5.0 long block into a 97 5.0

    Hello, and thank you in advance for any insight you may have for my project. While I was looking for some gt40p heads for my project, I found a 2000 long block for $125. I bought it, disassembled it and took it to a good friend's engine shop for machine work. He had the cam reground at Holman...

    99 up exhaust manifolds fit gt40 heads?

    As the title says, I'm wondering if the 99 up exhaust manifolds that, according to Turdle may not fit the earlier gt40 heads. I want to stroke my 5.0 to 347 among some other mods so that it tows a little better. It's my daily driver, but I occasionally tow an open trailer with a car on it, so I...

    Stroking 97 5.0 AWD Explorer

    Hello all. Been lurking here awhile, now I need some advice. My 97 awd Ex is rather wimpy when towing. My trailer with My Cobra replica on it weighs in at around 4500 lbs. Really struggles going up interstate hills. I want to stroke it to a 347, but need cam and any other suggestions to help it...
