I got the factory drivetrain out but then i bought another Camaro that i had been trying to buy for about 5 years. The guy finally called and made me a deal i couldn't refuse so the Explorer is getting the built 302 and the Camaro is getting the 350 or 383.

I'm going carburated and leaving the body harness intact while removing the engine harness, chevy or ford. I will have a tach, oil pressure, temp, and volts as far as gauges go. It's stupid simple to run a carburated smallblock. I only need three or four wires and i'll be using a chevy...

I already have a 3" body lift to clear the 265/75 16s i have on it now. http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0408081703bo1.jpg I was building a big horsepower 302 for my Mustang and i traded the Mustang for a tranny and transfer case from an F150 and some cash. I have this 302 sitting...

Have you swapped a 350 into an Explorer? I only ask since i was looking for someone who had. Your opinions are worthless to me but you still continue to give them. I wonder what the new Corvette uses for power? A smallblock Chevy, there's probably a reason for this.

No emissions or safety check, all that matters in my location is the vin matches the title. My big block s10 was a testament to that.

I know i can drill out the mounts on a couple different chevy cases so they can be mounted right or left. I stumbled on that last summer putting the wrong transfer case in a friends Blazer. I drilled out two holes and it went in where it needed to go. I'm not saying that's what i'll do since...

I'd thank him more if he made it as easy and cheap as a smallblock chevy to get power out of.

400 turbo most likely, i do have a 700r4 also but the 400 holds up to more abuse from what i have experienced. The weight difference will be taken care of by putting a set of 2" lift springs in the front until i swap the axle out. I have a set out another truck and they should be me back...

I was just wondering if anyone had done the swap and had any tips. I'm putting a regular 265 horse 72 Chevy 350 carbed motor in my 94 limited. I'm going to put a stock engine in for now while i build a 355 to replace it. The main question i have is - Will the stock front axle hold up for a...

It's equivalent to a 30.6x10.4 so close enough.

I have never been able to muddy up the back door. The front is from high speed mud runs along with the depth of the holes.

I burned up a winch and they replaced it no questions asked. They even paid postage for the new one and i had less than a week turnaround. I also cut a sidewall on one of my buddies boggers being a retard and the replaced it for him without a problem. My 4 wheel parts may be an exception...

I buy a lot of stuff from them and have never had a problem. They have an excellent tire warranty that even covers trail damage. Including the purchase price of the gears they are charging me less than a grand to install my 4:56s. I knew i could do the rear axle no problem but the front was...

The underside is cake, i pull it into the auto car wash my buddy owns and we turn on the undercarriage spray. Give it about 15 minutes and it's spotless.

I wouldn't use wd40 on my paint because i've used it to clean paint brushes before. Plus using it on plastic where it can penetrate since plastic is porous is probably asking for trouble. The molding is held on with adhesive, i use wd40 to remove adhesive all the time.

Yep, i end up using a half gallon or so of bleach white every week to get it shiny again. Underhood and interior cleaning are a whole nother matter. I'm from the old school and keep my front windows down so i can keep them clean. That leads to muddy seats and door panels.

Nice looking truck, now that you got a little mud on it go all out like mine. Takes a minimum of four hours to clean the exterior so it's best to pack a lunch. Good thing it's so much fun because bleaching all my molding back to white is a major pain in the ass.

I've owned several lincoln locked trucks and they really don't bother me. Turning around a gas pump island to get lined up can be frustrating at first if the turn is full lock but street wise it doesn't bother me much. My Grand Cherokee was cake all over town but my full size Chevy was a bit...

Straight line driving is no different. The tight turning is more difficult since the rear wants to push the front straight regardless of whether or not they're turned.

I decided to put a lincoln locker in the rear before Saturday. Actually it will be a Snap-On locker since we have a four grand snap on welder but either way i decided to lock it that way on the stock axle. I'm going to upgrade when i finish my lift so this axle is basically spare parts. I...

There are a couple conversion Explorers with the hightop around here. They have an enclosed fiberglass roof but i'm going to snap one up if the owners ever decide to sell just so i can do the jp treatment. I'll just have the front section airbrushed to look like a window.

I'd probably sell it but i don't want to ship it so it's gathering dust in my shop.

You wouldn't believe how many stock rigs come out and play, ten bucks and free pullouts so you can really stuff a truck into a hole if you feel like it. I stuffed myself into a hole on accident last week. I could have probably got out but there was a tractor fifteen feet in front of me so i...

Here's what it looks like now with the winch mounted. or 37 seconds or so in this video.

Long time since an update, i go to Yankee Lake every Friday night and run the trails and mud. I've decided as always i prefer the mud so i sold my D44 and bought a Suburban for the drivetrain. I mainly bought it for the 14 bolt ff axles with 4:56 gears. Either way my Limited will be a Ford...
