Well, I don't know how many times i've said this, but my friend has an '89 LX that he was going to drop a 347 into (befor I had said 357, my bad). But he owes his parents money and can't afford to do that anymore. Actually, he can't even afford to keep his car, so hes selling it and getting a '94-'95 cobra.
Lucky for me, he stil has the 347 engine sitting in his garage, and doesn't know what to do with it anymore. So, he said he would sell it to me for $1500. That is damn good if you ask me. The engine is a 302 block, but with the ford racing kit on it to build it up to a 347.
Now I just have to find a transmission to come out of the floor. Yes, I am going to keep my manual in my explorer. I was looking at the tremec transmissions on fordracingparts.com and was wondering if anyone has tried one of these in an explorer?
I'm not in any hurry. I probably wont even start the swap until june or july. It going to cost a lot, as you can imagine.
I just hope it turns out as good as i think it will.
