Yep throw some ported cleveland heads on there, and make a custom intake, that would be bad of the badass!

And another question, can I use the explorer TB? I heard it is a 65 mm

65mm or so i believe. it'll work, just gotta do a few little mods to it because of the arm being clocked at a diff position, and maybe the TPS? read this:

seems to me like a better deal than buying one brand new. i've got mine sitting in my room but i havent taken the time to mess with it yet.

Also, i've heard the orange 19lb injectors I have off the 97 explorer motor i bought will work. I've "heard" these are more efficient because of the 4 hole design or somethin?? not too sure on that, but somethin to look into i guess. Any ideas how much is a reasonable price for the set of 8 if i sold em??

Hey Beast,

I'd help you pull that motor, but I'm now officially a resident of Texas. I moved down here two days ago and started my new job today. I did however get that 75 shot installed on the Lex before I headed down here. It's a very nice addition I must say.

You lucky son of a bitch!! I was drooling over the damn thing the whole time I was there lol.

The yard is pulling it for me, even though I told them I'd pull it, some gay policy...

So I am definately going to pick up that 351 soon then I guess. The guy is pretty cool too. He's a Delta mechanic and has several project cars with a big warehouse behind his hous with 7 cars in it and a bunch more parts cars on the outside. One of his cars is a badass 69 fastback Mach clone, with a 427, thing is sick, and I usually don't like the color he chose(baby blue) but it is hot ****!!

What do I do about EGR? Just throw the space in the stock position and leave it be? It's not functioning right now anyway.

Do you guys know if I can use the MAF on the explorer? Is it worth anything? I got a 70 mm TB yesterday courtesy of 88GTStreetrod so I don't need the explorer tb, anyone wants it they can have it.

BTW steve thanks alot again and I fixed the sticking problem, all I did was adjust the little blade stop screw so it didn't close as much and it doesn't stick at all, it was just closing too much before.

I want to get a MAF to match the TB so if the explorer isn't a 70 mm I'll just get one off a sn95 5.0.

Thanks for any help guys.

I'll give you the TB, do you have a welder? If not, if you come to my house, we can cut the thing and weld it to fit your car, like in the directions above.
