Ok I live in CA and have a legal 96 5.0 Explorer engine in my Ranger. I've had the truck this way for two years and it's been great. It sounds sweet and can suprise quite a few "would be" racers off the line.
Looking at trans improvement kits Transgo and Bauman are the way to go? I'm looking for quicker, firmer shifts from the 4R70W slushbox.
Engine upgrades? My engine has 100K miles on it. It seems strong as 210 hp should feel. I'd like to get around 300-320 HP at the crank minimum without going forced induction.
Check out these FMS engines
Will the M-6007-XE3 302 ci 340hp/310tq or the M-6007-A342 342ci 400hp/390 tq bolt up? Would I be able to use my stock fuel injectors, fuel pump, intake, computer, and FMS exhaust manifolds on these engines?
I've been reading up on strokers, 5.8l swaps, etc but haven't found the answer to what will work with the EECV system?
If i were to buy a stroker kit and put it into my 96 explorer engine what mods to the EEC system would I have to make? Would it still have low emissions?
I have a 93 5.0 mustang engine/harness sitting in the garage. Could i use it for anything?
I don't know much about aftermarket mods
