Well I would like to not change as many things as possible...does anybody know any good "86 F150" sites/forums that I could go register on and find out more specifically?

So the firing orders are different (that is what I thought from the beginning)...

Thanks again

I'm not trying to be a smart guy or anything but after 2255 posts one would think that you would already know all of this stuff. What have you been posting about all this time?

No, no no, they are all the same. They just turn them around backwards on the trucks.

I take that as a "smart guy" comment and yet unintelligent...

Let me put it this way if you want to know what I have been posting...LOOK AT THE WEBSITE NAME THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY ON...

I didn't know this was F150net.com?

I guess I just happened to install all the things on my car and they all happen to work nicely on my daily driver...I guess I got lucky...

Post count don't mean a thing

If you would read the thread it would probably help you out...I wanted to make sure I had the right torque specs (didn't want to damage my friends daily driver) and would like to know if the firing orders are the same so I can look at cams for his truck...the pistons are different (that makes a difference if you didn't already know )...

I guess I'm just going to go over to f150online.com and quit posting over here because I don't know nothing

Think before you type...

No the intakes aren't the same...

It wasn't supposed to be intelligent.

This makes no sense.

Again, this also makes no sense.

It tells me that you spend a lot of time posting.

This was the rub. The questions that you asked have been asked and answered, just a wild guess on my part, about 1,000 times since August 2002. One would think that you would have read the answers once or twice before.

I guess I'm just going to go over to f150online.com and quit posting over here because I don't know nothing

Go ahead, you might learn something. I did.

Do you mean that? The intake on my truck isn't the same as the one on my 5.0?

Enjoy the hollidays...

Really

Well it seems that Maryland Mustang HAS nothing intelligent to add to this post. Assuming that two vehicles made by one manufacturer would be side by side same because they both say FORD somewhere on the body is just the kind of thing that screws up perfectly good components. I've got an 86 Stang. I'm pretty familiar with the internal components of much of it. I wouldn't presume that what's true for my motor would be the same for every other motor put out the same year for different vehicles. I do believe as a matter of fact, that I'd even asked if the motor in that truck was an H.O. Not something I'd know unless I'd asked since I've never owned an 86 F-150. IMO, every question 5spd GT has asked has been a valid one. It will certainly help him and his buddy to get a combo together that will work efficiently instead of making lame assumptions and screwing something up.

My thoughts exactly

I'm going to take Marylands advice and put my stock cam in a 92 Ford Tempo...after all they both say Ford on them right?

Better yet.... Let's do a 460 Dart Stroker to the Probe. Should be a direct replacement! It must be true because the Probe at one time, was going to be a Mustang. So the parts must all be interchangable.

I bet the only thing we would have to do is change the air filter location?




Yeah Probe = Mustang

So I need to tell him to get some new flat tappet lifters/a cam to match his different firing order (any suggestions)/twisted wedge heads w/ the "mild" cam/...?

The sensor locations on the intake on a truck and all that are different are they not?

And I'm guessing the gaskets will be the same or are the coolant ports in different locations for example?

Thanks for the suggestions

Hey Maryland Stang: Maybe I'll register over on stangnet.com...oooppss...I mean f150online.com... I get them mixed up since their both Fords ...does that mean they use the same parts...I'm thinking about putting in a 99 Ford Ranger AODE...it should bolt right up correct?
