Picture 048.jpg 391 hits | 74.36 KB | Posted: 1/8/13 Out. A lot easier than I thought it would be. I read a lot of people having trouble trying to access the right side bellhousing bolts, I did not have that issue. Pull the right fender liner and the bolts are right there. Used a wrench to pull the bo... (Posted in: Plan 4)

Picture 081.JPG 348 hits | 95.49 KB | Posted: 11/26/13 Top-ish shot. Apparently the Explorer 5.0 FEADs are the tightest that Ford offered. Just thought I would pass that info along. (Posted in: Plan 4)
20151022_172303.jpg 665 hits | 70.51 KB | Posted: 2/9/17 Loaded up to bring home from the parents place. I like the stance in this picture. Too bad the tires are way too big. If you are wondering, I decided to swap the 5.0 in this one when the engine in this one went (driving this while working on the whit... (Posted in: The Truck)

Even with the 3" body lift and some kind of leveling kit (on there when I bought the truck) the tires are MUCH too big and contact the ... (Posted in: The Truck)

20171014_102018.jpg 704 hits | 68.57 KB | Posted: 10/16/17 Absolutely LOVE the stance. Problem is, it does not turn for crap. The tires hit the fenders almost instantly; so now I am torn between trimming the fenders to fit 35s or buy tires that actually fit when the time comes. (Posted in: The Truck)

Where it is mounted is where the charcoal canister used to be. The hoses were provided in the kit but I took it a step farther and had hydraulic fittings ... (Posted in: Engine bay)
20160422_111934.jpg 507 hits | 75.13 KB | Posted: 2/9/17 Changed my mind on the fuel injection (only have the intakes and fuel rail..individual parts are hard to come by around here and even more so when they're not asking a first born). No, no you are not seeing things, that IS a Quadra-Jet. I have my rea... (Posted in: Engine bay)
20160425_133804.jpg 373 hits | 90.87 KB | Posted: 2/9/17 Snazzy new air cleaner. You can see the later model exhaust manifolds in this picture. It cleans up the look and brings in the driver manifold close to the cylinder head A LOT. With the factory tube manifolds it came very close to hitting the steerin... (Posted in: Engine bay)
