I have a '97 XLT that I'm attempting to rebuild the engine. Running into some snags though and hope to get some advice from y'all.

Welcome haubest.

Lots of help here, it's on the way. :thumbsup:
 






So far, only one problem...

After putting the engine back in the truck, a head gasket blew. Please see my post at: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=255502

I'm not sure if I bought the right head gaskets as there is a different gasket for the "regular" and "high performance" engine. How would I know which engine I have? A Ford tech said the high performance engine is only in the Eddie Bauer edition. I have an XLT. Is there any way to definitely tell which engine I have?
