- '97 Mountaineer 5.0V8 AWD
I was just curious what the best mods for the 5.0 V8 in my '97 AWD Mountaineer are? I am looking for mods that are not going to render my vehicle annoying to drive, like some exhaust mods, because this is my daily driver. I was thinking some sort of camshaft regrind (or different camshaft), throttle body, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, or something not terribly invasive (basically something where I don't have to completely tear my engine apart).
Where should I start? Btw, I do have the exhaust manifold "ticking" on the driver's side, what are the best replacement manifolds to buy that won't crack and might even net a little power gain? Btw, my V8 has the crazy, almost copper colored manifolds on there (i.e not cast iron) so does that mean I have the GT40P or GT40(NON-P) heads? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
