build

I love the way my mountaineer (AWD) drives, handles curves and accelerates.... However, I am starting a car build and was looking at engines and transmissions, fwd, rwd, awd, atc. It finally occurred to me that I'm expecting my car to perform as well as my mountaineer. (Lightbulb moment)...

I've already searched around in the threads and can't find anyone who's mentioned doing this. I'm building a 4.0 that came from a 93 Sport to put into my 97 XLT. I've noticed the block casting is different, specifically for the motor mount bolts. Has anyone swapped an early 4.0 into a second...

So my 96 5.0 is getting pretty tired and it' time for a rebuild, but since it's my daily driver I am looking to buy another motor to build and swap in to minimize downtime. The question I have is what problems will I run into if I get a later model 5.0 to build? Ideally I'd like to find another...

Hey all, I've seen a lot of fun and entertaining build threads on the forum and thought it about time to contribute my own. But as I'm a broke college student the thread will be less about building it up, and more about keep it alive -- thus survival thread. Hoping ya'll can help me in this...

I have a 06 ford explorer XLT 4x4 and I would like some help fixing it up and making it an off road monster. I understand it is a v6 and I was wondering if it was possible to drop in a v8 I would like to lift it 3" and put 17s with 33s and light bars and things. I'm not really vehicle savvy so...

The time has come! After being a proud explorer owner for a year and half I have decided to start my build thread from the beginning. It all started back in spring of 08 when my best friend's sister blew up the transmission in the family's 92 explorer. After finding this site I learned more...
