    Project thread: “Beast”

    those shocks have about 5k on them. in fact the entire front end has less than 5k on moog parts and poly bushings (except for right front LCA iirc. i got lazy and didnt feel like changing them) they lied about the HC in the cooling system. just FYI

    wouldnt be the first time that particular shop has blown up an engine. ive gotten a caravan from them that they hacked up pretty good. was overheating. they "replaced" the radiator. (plot twist. they didnt.) they put a new head on a tacoma. (again. not new. reman head. when i pulled it and had...

    Project thread: “Beast”

    i drilled the separator plate in that trans too. basically j-mod as much as i could (some of the holes were already bigger than recommended). i did not take any accumulator springs out though as i towed with it. have fun with it. i kinda miss that turd

    Also possibly a defective filter. I have had them before

    302 carb swap

    Oops I read that as 2006. You're going to need all the electronics and trans from a 00/01 v8 or a stand alone trans controller. Why carb?

    302 carb swap

    It's going to be all custom so pick whatever trans you want that will bolt to the 302. Nothing is going to bolt in to the truck

    98 explorer fuel pump

    So is it not cranking or not starting? There is a difference

    Magnaflow down pipes 23311 and 23312 for the 5.0L

    Those are magnaflow. Fwiw to have a pair of mandrel header pipes built would cost quite a bit more than these.

    Running rich?

    Start with putting cats back on it

    Trouble codes after engine building!

    Check fuel trims at idle and then 2k rpm. Freeze frame data on one of the lean codes to see conditions when it was set

    Worth going from 3.73s to 4.10s?

    My stock Terminator wheels fit about perfect with a 1" bolt on spacer all around. If I didn't have the big flares they would have stuck out though

    OBX Exhaust Header Manifold FITS 97 98 99 00 01 Explorer Mountaineer 5.0L V8

    He's got a hard on for log manifolds. No thanks

    Torque Monster headers making comeback ???

    Oh goody. I might have to order up a set for non-p heads

    5.0 347 swap

    Believe me it has crossed my mind. I do have a 2wd trans in the back yard and still technically own a 00 2wd v8.

    anti windup bars or no and about coils

    If you don't have a misfire the new coils won't help. You either have enough spark for combustion... Or you don't.

    5.0 347 swap

    I'll be following this. Have a slight rear main leak. If the engine is coming out I'm doing more than fixing a leak. Or I'll sell the stupid thing and buy a cayenne. Anyone want a cammed explorer with real TM headers?

    Upgrades for stock 5.0 engine?

    well that makes a difference. Would probably spank me too. I am. New 5.0 and ecoboost are a fair run for me. Old 5.4 3v is no problem.

    Upgrades for stock 5.0 engine?

    Interesting. 5.0 f150s generally don't pull me. They def put up a good fight though

    need for 24# injectors?

    I have cam, headers, full exhaust with a borla, and a little intake work. No problems at part or fill throttle with stock fuel

    Installing a new all aluminum two core radiator

    Keep us updated. I recently had to pull my OEM dual core out as it started leaking. Looked everywhere locally and couldn't find a plastic tank dual core. Didn't have time to wait for one of those.

    Torque Monster headers

    They also appear to have some serious rust pitting with new spray paint covering it

    Torque Monster headers

    Damn. I wanted that first set so I can get some real heads but not anymore.
