I am in the Torque Monster Header Club!!!
Picked up my donor vehicle today. The truck is dirty and rough, and mechanically well maintained though. Bought it from a mechanic he did the Rockers, Cam, and Header install himself.
It is a 2000 AWD
Engine mods:
1.6 Rockers and valve spacers / covers to match. The Engine fill tube leaks from this install and he said there was not much solution for that? But I think I can get it to seal better.
Stock Cam Shaft swapped for Comp XE 258-14
Brake Rotors Front 2002 Explorer pads with 2011 Ranger calipers ( I cant use anyways AWD and it had bearing spacers in the front for )
Rear is 2002 Pads and 2002 Ranger Calipers, Should be able to transfer these over with small modifications.
Secondary cats removed/ 2.5 Dual in/out but routed into spare. ( will probably chop the muffler and keep it )
It has the CD-Changer in the console which I am stoked to have now. It also has the 2000 Captain powered seats. They don't have the headrest like my 2001 seats, and don't have power heat but I may repair them and see how they look.
Just for my records;
A/C compressor
Radiator
Evap all 3 years old and keep.
Taking it over to another mechanic today to talk about the engine swap. Then anything else needing to swap around I will do myself.
I plan to take all kinds of body molding and most any useable in the future part off of the rig. Then its getting scrapped.
Not my video but from when was first put in.
