Bought the truck October 2010 as a stock XL 2.3L 5 speed and this is it's evolution so far. Started modding slowly by painting/changing wheels and adding edge hood and grill. Decided to lower the truck 3/5 djm components and explorer 4:10 8.8 and that lead to 5/ 5 then 7/8 drop (it was contagious). I wrecked the truck not bad but needed a front end. I had previously showed my buddy a pic of an explorer front swap and he said let's do (wasn't sure if he was joking or not but we rolled with it) and it was a lot of work but worth itAfter probably 10 sets of mustang wheels I ended up on Mach 1s forever. Swapped in explorer seats and console with custom shifter and boot. Then the 2.3 spun a bearing and the truck sat awhile. Having some time off between jobs and before a hot rod event I go to every year was the perfect time to swap a 302 in it.302 is stock bottom end with trick flow heads and cam Vic Jr intake and 650 demon carb. A fuel cell was put in with new lines and Holley blue pump. Backed by a t5.T5 broke swapped in a PA C4 and PTC convertor and recently rebuilt that Attachment: Collage 2017-09-05 11_02_38.jpg (Downloaded 72 times) Last edited on Mon Oct 23rd, 2017 05:41 pm by Aparrish54 |
