Nickname:	Creampuff
Mileage:
Engine:	originally a stock 302 EFI. Engine had no oil pressure, warped heads, ran like crap. Swapped a 302 from 98 V8 Explorer with GT40P heads, roller cam, and OBD-II EFI setup. Used a PCM from a 96 5.0 Explorer to bypass the anti-theft system. has dual exhaust with long tube headers, thrust mufflers and 1st stage cats 2 inch piping.
Drivetrain:	originally 4x4 with AOD and BW1356 swapped in 2wd 4R70W from 98 Explorer 5.0 with a TransGo reprogramming kit Semi-floating Sterling 10.25 rear axle with 4.10 gears TTB Dana 44HD front axle but no transfercase means no 4x4
Notes:	A friend had it for awhile and called it Creampuff but gave it to her grandma when she left for the Army. However it was in horrible shape. Warped cylinder heads, many damaged parts, numerous broken vacuum lines, and many failed repairs done by others. as a favor I completely rebuilt the top end of the motor for cost of parts and using used parts I already had. afterwards I got the engine running prime but then found out the tranny was toasted and the engine had very low oil pressure due to worn bottom end parts. The grandma doesn't want to pay for a new tranny and rebuilding the lower end of the engine but gave it for me because she knows I see the potential in the truck and will get it fixed right. Been playing with different ideas for plans of what I want to do for the truck. decided to swap in an engine and tranny from a 98 V8 Explorer with a 302 and 4R70W. Unfortunately the tranny is 2wd so the truck will loose 4x4. I will be converting the truck to OBD-II and using the EFI setup from the Explorer. the Explorer 302 with its GT40P heads, roller block, better cam, MAF OBD-II EFI will be much stonger and efficient than the stock engine. The 4R70W with the wide ratio gears and aftermarket valvebody will make it very strong and much better torque. both the engine and tranny with the F250s 4.10 gearing will make it very fuel efficient reliable and decent for towing Unfortunately the 98 Explorer has anti-theft and numerous trips to the junkyard i still couldnt get all the components i needed to get by it. Ended up using a 96 Explorer 5.0 PCM which doesnt have anti-theft. Downside of this is that alot of the systems were different so this required me having to do some custom wiring and add and delete components.

my original rear spring code was Code 6. they a 1700lb rated spring used on the 'light duty' F250. They are more of an F150 leaf spring but about 3 inches more arch

my new springs are 2450lb rated used for an average F250 gas trucks. It should help ...

adding a 3 inch drop pitman arm did help bring the geometry close to factory.

i may still consider doing a tie rod flip on the knuckles. with the drop pitman arm, there is no chance of the tie rods ever hitting the leaf springs.

The new leafs, leveling kit, and drop brackets installed. Also new poly bump stops

I decided to go for a 2.5 inch lift. I should have stuck with 2 inch but the process to change it now is a huge pain.

The front drop bracket installed was pretty sm...

removing the 3/8 in factory plate and adding two 1/2 leveling plates gives right at 2 inches of lift. I decided to add a third plate on the actual install to make it 2.5 inches of lift.

i regret doing so because the front is now higher than the rea...
