    How strong is AWD on the 5.0?

    I plan on making some passes down the 1/4 mile this weekend and if things go as planned I should drop the 347 I have in the X within the next month or two. Then more drag racing. What I'm getting at is how long will the AWD be able to take some hard, hard launches? What will break first? Who...

    347 install - what do I need to know?

    I plan on going ahead with a 347 swap. I dont want to do heads, cam, etc right now only to have to change everything on down the line when I upgrade to a 347. So, what all I will need to know before i jump in and do it. Keep in mind I've done pretty much everything to my 90 Mustang including...

    Ford has officially pi$$ed me off with V8 O2 sensors

    Who makes a full exhaust for 5.0 X's?

    Will I have to go the custom route on this? If so, any suggestions? Kooks maybe.

    Do 98 5.0 X's have a knock sensor?

    I'm wondering if my X has a knock sensor that will retard timing if it detects the saw tooth waveform that tries its best to kill Mr head gasket or Mr piston. If so I'd like to run 93 octane, otherwise I'll just run whatever doesn't cause detonation. Thanks in advance.

    KB blower on 5.0 X??

    Has anyone installed a Kenny Bell blower on a 5.0 Explorer? I think the torque would be great considering the weight of an X. Since I just took possesion of my 98 Limited 5.0 tonight after 3.5 weeks of waiting (ebay purchase) I can tell it won't be long before I start modifying it. If a KB can't...

    Explorer classifieds??

    I'm looking for a 5.0 AWD but not having much luck locally or on ebay. There are lots to chose, I'm just real picky. Isn't there a classified section here? Or does anyone know of a good one? Thanks in advance.

    Swapping a Mustang differential in my 8.8

    I just did a little research and found that I have the 45 rear end. Open 3.55's right? Id like to put a mustang ls diff in with 3.90's or 4.10's. I ve done gear swaps and rebuild many times on my 90 5.0 GT 8.8 that I drag raced a lot. My questions are 1 - Is it a straight forward swap just like...

    Just bought '95 XLT - questions about tranny

    I bought a 1995 Explorer XLT 4X4 this week and was wondering how to tell which tranny I have in it. I have heard some bad things about the tranny's. It has a tranny cooler on it and the transmission seems to shift fine. What should I look out for as far as warning signs from the tranny? Anything...
