Thanks haha, hopefully this summer it will be a 5speed!
 






If you need help just let me know man, I'm always game for some swap work! Lol. Might turn mine into a 5.0 sploder soon. Depends on wether these timing chains last long enough for me to get my tax return and find the motor and other parts lol. I was actually thinking about buying one of the infamous craigslist explorers. You know the ones, " 1999 explorer 4x4, bad trans, everything else good, $400obo." And using this one for parts, combine the 2 and have one decent running truck lol
