- '98 XLT Explorer 5.0l
I have a 98 Explorer XLT 4X2. Engine has a 8th vin number of "P". I'm looking for a rebuild engine and have a few questions. I have done many chevy's in the past, but this is my first ford small block.
I saved this truck from my wife's boss and only paid $650.00 for it. Over the past 3 years, I have put around $2500.00 into it. It's been a great truck, but at 187K miles, I would like to start looking for a engine, and start building it for a weekend swap.
1. Could you recommend a good place for info on rebuilding a 302? Tips and tricks?
2. What block numbers am I looking for and where should I look for them?
3. I have the GT40P heads. Can you recommend what to do to them?
4. I would it to be a little more of a sleeper. Can you recommend a cam?
5. Anything else you could think of.
