    5.0 beginner.

    To be honest, I never had to remove my header to get to the spark plugs. One of them called it close, but it was doable. Maybe it had something to do with me using the entire explorer engine?

    So i trekked outside today in the beautiful spring weather in south Texas (sarcasm, it was over 100 degrees) and decided to start pulling the interior out to make it easier to weld in the roll cage soon.

    My plans for a 351 swap

    Well I'm now planning on a 427 that will be boosted later down the line. What kind of fuel system do you think I would need? I haven't decided on EFI or carb. I kinda like the carb look so I'm leaning towards that more. That and its a little cheaper
