What's up guys? New guy checking in, just purchased my first Explorer yesterday. It's a 93 2wd 4.0 60,000 original miles and purchased from the original owner. It's currently my daily driver. She isn't much to look at now but there are major plans in the works. I'm a long time Ford man through and through, having owned 8 mustangs in the past. Looking forward to modding my first Exploder!

And ofcourse I have to post pics of my mustang.

Hey welcome. I started with a 93 as well. We had it about ten years with no major problems with it. Just this last year upgraded to a newer one with the v8. If you take care of it, which it looks like it has been, that 93 should last a while.

Good to know! Yea, it looks to have been very well maintained. I know I plan on hanging on to it for a while. I really enjoy driving it. I've got a cowl hood, new rims, and a new headunit in the mail.

Hey dude, welcome! Ex is in nice shape, love the notchback. Had a white notchback '87 5.0 back in the day. Did not have that chunk of crazyness poking out of the hood however... how does it run in the quarter mile?

Thanks man. The notch isn't quite finished yet. I only lack a blower idler pulley and a blower belt to fire it off. I expect a low 10 sec 1/4. Haven't driven it in 6 months and it's killing me. Would have been running by now had I bought a kit but I decided to fabricate my own kit. Building one of these blowers basically from scratch involves a steep learning curve.

Heres the blower the day I brought it home

A supercoupe swapped x would be pretty sick.
On my old 01 mustang v6 I used a supercoupe bottom and built a blower manifold to mount an 03-04 cobra m112 blower.

Amen to that! Lol.

I hung on to mine an extra 3 years just to make sure I wouldn't regret selling... I tend to get attached to vehicles. Had it 17 years.

You may be right!! I'd install a blower on my lawnmower if the wife would let me. Lol I was thumbing through the site and saw the m62 swap thread. Great idea, but that blower is just too small for these engines. Perhaps in the future when I get the fox done and a the x up to my standards it will receive an m112.

That is some nice install on the blown six. Very neat. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

 

[Bruces expo]

I knew i had a feeling of another m90 or better build coming soon , looking forward to the m112 !!

Yup, itll happen. I'm in no rush though, I've got the fox to keep myneed for speed in check.
