Intercooling the 4.0 ohv/sohc with Ford Supercouper M90

[jd4242]

sitting on the driveway uninsured.

I'll pull it in to the garage this week and start on the upper control arm, lower bj, and axle seal. Then I just have to remove the intercooler rad, pump, boost and a/f gauge in anticipation of mounting it in my new project.

Then it will be ready for the kids to get to university and back. They will appreciate driving it in the winter, but I'm sure the gas mileage will make their eye's water (Not that its bad, just not a compact car).

I'll be picking up the turbo this week.

O I'm sure they won't mind

Oh man, you just won't let up on this twin turbo thing.

Well, boost gauge, innovate a/f, and intercooler radiator is off and going to be mounted in its next victim. All I have left is to pull the intercooler pump out.
Trucks had its wheel alignment, interiors had a quick clean, and the kids are now driving it. I took it for a burn yesterday, and it still feels pretty good. Love the low end torque.

The kids are pretty happy to be driving something that's custom.

Are your kids good enough drivers to say make a run against the 5.0? Or maybe Tim can drive one or the other! ! That I wanna see!!

 

[Dono]

That would be fun!
I wouldn't want to encourage that behavior in a 18 year old(ha ha, I'm such a hypocrite), but Tim on the other hand.....

I liked those 302 Capri body styles. I'd stick a Cleveland in one though, with CHI heads and 408-427CI, and it'd fly. Do the brakes and suspension first though.
