Nice find though, slightly jealous...

i think i have too much run out on the front shaft. in other words, i screwed up giving the drive shaft shop the measurements.

 

[vroomzoomboom]

oh, and to add, your slightly jealous, i'm majorly broke! lol

 

[blueka]

I'm broke too.. have been since we got a certain purple mustang... lol... I've finally got another 01 sport to sell, it's gone on sale tonight, hopefully shift it soon...

Cool, another blown Explorer. That will put a smile on your face every time you drive it.

Good find! Can't wait to see it all put together. Supercharged 5.0L sport with BW4406. I can see good burnouts in your future....

Oh BTW after a few months I have yet to have any drivetrain vibrations on my BW4406 swap.

Tim and I will be at the track this summer. Im really looking forward to it.
Evil has 4 or 5 months to go thru the transformation. This is going to be great!

Congratulations Tim!!

I saw Tim comment on that post almost as soon as it went up and was hoping he was the lucky buyer. Think you'll be ready for AFN?

That's great Brad, you need to post the details of your front drive shaft, with pictures. That shaft is relatively short, and with both ends not moving the dimensions etc, are all critical to stop vibrations.

Awesome I saw that post too and cant wait to see it come together.

yes, it will be interesting, for sure. i will have to relook into the front shaft later. at worst for the time, i pull it.

you know it! gimli will happen next summer. i just wish we can see the look on peoples faces when a couple of 4,300 lb. soccer mom trucks line up, then burn the tires off. looks like i'm your motor puller/putter back in'er adviser, and you'll be my super charger/tuner adviser.

dan, i know. i think everyone saw that. i almost even asked rick if he could pull that thread so nobody knew i was getting it. oh well. as for afn.......sadly, i dont know if i am going to make it there. its not that i dont want to go, every year i go there, its better and better, even though the show last year was kinda meh, but hanging out with the east coast crew is always entertaining, and i always come back with stories (still feel bad for skunk and his car saki). once again, if i can sell a kidney or something to get there, up, im there, but right now, because i had to miss so much work this summer, and the cost of putting the blower on, its not looking good.

then again, summers a long way away.

does this also mean evil will be the only sport with a 5L swap, 4406 (seeing bronco2guy parted his out) AND a super charger?

 

[delexploder]

Done Yet???

 

[vroomzoomboom]

HA! i wish. still needing ONE BOLT!!!! its not a off the shelf one either, and nobody stocks them here. its a four seasons idler bolt #45920. i asked a couple of people in PA that i know if they could get it from rockauto for me (the bolt is something like $4, and for you guys to have it mailed to you is $5, vs. having rockauto ship it to me is $30!) and mail it up to me, but no body has got back to me yet. that and i have a 00 ranger that i bought to flip sitting here that i hope i can get working on it this weekend.
the other parts that i need are a cai, and plate for it. i just found a wideband on corral.net for a $100 shipped. i prob wont get to it for a few more weeks.
trust me, im dying to see what it will do, and sound like.

 

[GRNMACHINE]

Razzin Ya, I am really looking forward to watching the build. $30 to ship a bolt, WoW that is insane!! Good Luck with the Ranger too!
