Sounds like your tranny is stage 3 shift kitted with that kind of operation. It would be a fun truck to drive....

What kind of gear shifter do you have?

the shift kit is stage 3 but the bands and clutches are stage 2.still have the stock shifter.was planning on going to a 2.9 5 speed but after last couple trips im not going to in this truck.either a stage 3 or gm 700 is going in,both will be the b&m sport truck shifter

I would recommend you ditch the 4.56 and get 4.88-5.12! you need least 4.88 for 35s or your all ways have a dog.
motor wise a simple good build would be the 422 10:1 route.things to add on would be
Mellings high flow pump
bored with new stock first gen pistons
engine quest 95tm heads
422cam with right size pushrods
sealed power or ford replacement rockers
SI stainless steel one piece valves
988 dual valve springs with the heads milled to fit
ported lower manifold.nothing else you really need to waste ALOT of money on
bbk tb or the half shaft mod
Under drive crank pulley with overdrive on the alt ..many won't agree with this mod.i TOTALLY support it
Electric fan
high flow cat and good 2.25-2.5 exhaust

that has been used by many and provided some of the best results.i have built five versions of the ohv and that has been the best combo with out getting to retarded into it.other option is just a good stock rebuild with 410cam and high flow oil pump,won't gain anything but a improved stock motor.

Well as far as the 4.56 i agree 4.88-5.12 would be better but as i said its a DD as well and honestly its less of a dog with the 4.56 and 35s than it was with stock 3.73 and 235 75 tires. I also need some exhaust work done its plugging i think at the cats. anyway, the new gears will come later i am actually getting more and more talked into a SAS and gears would come at the same time but i just wanted an idea engine wise! So that being said say i took into consideration ALL THE ABOVE mentioned improvements while rebuilding the motor ballpark range what do you think the cost would be for the rebuild?

Ok and would this give a significant increase of power or just barely anything?

Ye its about the most you can do to it with out going into crazy port work,bok tb and a udp .it will put you close to 200hp to the ground.its a complete performance build and won't sound like no v6!!

I posted a thread a little while ago asking about building a 4.0 for power and got a ton of good info that may be different than some mentioned here. Unfortunatly I havent got to do any of it yet myself

Really there is less info there than in here, except your a 2nd gen and a 5.0 swap would be much easier .

I was just saying there are some different ideas in there. And the 4.0 I want to build is not for my Ex, its for my old Ranger

 

[Noober1]

There's a local shop where I live that is highly recommended for performance and price. They're backed up until late August

Gotta love Rodney.... he's from Tulsa, like I am.


Back on track here: If I ever had the $$$ I would do a supercharged 302 backed up to a 5 speed

Yea im very happy with my v6 but that's what i was wanting to build.I've never built up a v6 before so was looking to do something different .my next project is a ranger and im still torn between a simple 347 blown motor or something custom again like a stroked 4.3 twin turbo

Waste of money for the average person,unless build a racer.

This is wrong.flat tops with first gens gets you about 10.8-11:1 depending on head gaskets thickness .95tm heads with first gen pistons is the safe way to go,gets you to 9.8-10:1

agreed with most all.personally the 410 is not worth it unless just doing a stockish rebuild.


P+p is the MOST expensive mod you can do if you are paying someone.also the ohv does not benefit at all from higher rpms unless you go FI



we need more info on what your looking for and your price range....i can tell you how to drop 10-12grand in a heart beat!!

Tell me tell me tell me. . . I want the explodingest exploder that ever sploded
