Alright, here's a quick history lesson.
Here's what's been going on recently
All of my current mods are in my sig below, and as you might see I am currently undergoing a 302 swap for her. My wish list is as follows:
-AFR 185cc heads coupled with some 1.72:1 rockers which will most likely be from Scorpion. Hardened pushrods will be required.
-XE270 cam from COMP Cams
-Trick Flow Track Heat intake
-75mm throttle body
-77mm MAF
-30 lb/hr injectors
-Torque Monster headers
-A/C will be kept.
-HP goal is 400.
-Tossing around the idea on whether or not to make a custom IRS setup when the 7.5 gets replaced. A 4-link 8.8 is starting to look more likely, though.
-M5OD-R2 transmission
Right now I already have a 1997 302 from an Explorer sitting in the garage (GT40 heads). I have a 1996 computer from the J/Y. I already have adjustable engine mounts waiting for me. I'm currently working on getting a T-5 from a guy on The Ranger Station from a 1994 3.8L Mustang. The tricky part will be converting the mechanical linkage to a hydraulic setup. I have it mostly figured out, it's just a matter of finding the right parts and fabbing up a bracket for an external pull-style slave cylinder.
Until then, the little, old, reliable Lima with 220K miles will keep me going.
