how is this engine combo?

[Farva]

the car im lookin to buy is a 4cyl notch - 5.0 conversion.

the guy dropped in a 96 explorer engine, gt40 intake and add. on top of that he's added a better throttle body, and maf. the cars also got full exhuast, including headers.
hows that combo sound?

and also, ive read that the heads from that engine flow better than stock fox 5.0 heads. is this true?

thanks.

Sounds pretty stock, I would hope the "full exhuast" included headers, all stock 5.0s came with them. Got any pics? Price?

lol meant full aftermarket exhaust.

the guys askin 2500. its an 89 notch. body's in real nice shape. its got pony's all around. its also got a cervinis hood im pretty sure; somethin aftermarket.

im sure theres a few more things, jus cant think of them rite now

If the body is in really good shape it may be worth it. Although, you may be able to get it cheaper out of him. Sounds like a good place to start.

im gonna try to talk him down if the tranny and rear are still 4cyl equipment. but im pretty sure he's got gt stuff in it.

Just show up with the money in your hand, people tend to negotiatie more when they see bouncing bills infront of them! I got my car for 2500 and the guy was asking 4.

 

[Farva]

yea

yea i think im gonna bring like 22 100's, and six 50s

Sounds like you'll be starting well ahead of a stock 5.0 honestly. Does it still have the 'explorer' cam in it? Probably the first thing to look into if you pick this car up.
And yeah, cash talks. $2200-$2300 cash might scoop that up.
