Trick Flow Stage 1 Cam
75mm BBK Throttle Body
Torque Monster Headers
Magnaflow Race Mufflers/Custom exhaust
24# Injectors

Baumann Shift Kit
1.6 Roller Rockers
BA2400 SCT MAF

....and much more

(Larry, I need to talk to you about getting more parts :lmao: )

Valve Covers and CAI will be powder coated to match my paint job...

This is my Daily Driver, so I am down a vehicle, thanks to Rob (rocket5979) I am using his wifes old 1997 Pontiac Sunfire as my vehicle for the time being. Also, we have my truck in his garage while we are doing all of the work. Needless to say, in Rob's garage, there are two Explorers receiving some good treatment!

The build should take us about a month or a little longer.

After motor work is done, she will be getting a 2" cowl hood, new front bumper, full suspension kit (which includes a 1 3/4" drop), and will wrap her up in 18x9 03 SVT rims painted or powder coated black.

She is going to be a hell of a truck when all is said and done.

AHHHHH good ol' 5 liters....I remember those days...ONE camshaft, 2 valves, 16 rockers, Distributors, MSD boxes....Seems like it was just yesterday! Good luck with the build! It sure will get her moving. Whats next blower?

No, after this, not too much. This is still my DD, so after this portion of the build, I think I need to focus on selling the bike and getting a car...

No, I am 99% sure I won't be doing much else besides apperance to this truck, being it is my Daily Driver. I am also 99% sure I will be looking to sell my bike. Once that occurs, I will have my eyes out for a nice 94-98 Cobra, New age Mach 1, or 91-93 Notch.
