It is a 20 bolt pan on the transmission. Also the stock efi was on the engine when I pulled it off.I am going to put it back on too. It might have even had a smog pump at one time. Looks like the mounts were sheared off for the smog pump and it didn't ever come with the original manifolds which may have had the tubes for each exhaust port. Someone asked for a letter on the upper front of the passenger side head. I took a picture and it was a T. Not sure what that means though.

I will call USshift and see if they can add anything. I think I have gone as far as I can so for then. I am putting it all back together. I had a lifter that wouldn't pump up, so took it apart, cleaned and seems to be fine now. Spun with distributor in too. I have some more pics to send of how the wiring fron the baumann box goes through the fire wall and then one branches off to the transmission and the other to the PCM.

Thanks very much for taking the time to answer my questions and clearing up things I didb'i know about. I will be back.

Yes. It would have had an air injection system plumbed into the catalytic converter and the back of the cylinder heads. You should read post #24.

Odd since…

Makes you wonder what computer is behind the kick panel.

 

We have the same truck, they definitely are great looking and somewhat rare. I’ve only ever seen one other one in person on the road (as far as bring a 90’s 4x4 Flareside). I still have my original Baumannator in the closet, they have come a long way. Back then I had to fab up a bracket to mount a GM tps to my Edelbrock carb on the 400 to get the controller a throttle sensor. Nowadays they have bolt on options to make it easy plug n play. And the controllers come with handhelds that you can do various things from. As far as what it is capable of, you can change shift points, tcc lock up, and shift firmness. And if you have cruise control, it can manual
shift with the cruise buttons via Manutronic mode. Not sure if they’ll have software support for that old one anymore though.

 

possibly a manual transmission computer and aftermarket controller to mediate some factory calibration behaviors or driveability with their e4od

 

I just now did read that #24 posting. So flat tappet, roller block. Pretty stupid combination it seems to me. I guess roller, hydraulic lifters were getting too expensive?! And if mostly 87 to 91 engines, does that probably mean that the heads I have now were put on sometime afterwards? I looked up the heads as far as cc's and seems they are low to mid 60's. I have no idea if there was a piston change at some point either. Lots I don't know but I am learning. I have been playing with all types of cars mostly foreign but an occasional V8. Not to this kind of depth though. So thanks for the patience and helpful knowledge that all of you have been sharing.

And Porkchop, very cool to know that these are fairly rare. It seems that they were kind of rare from some research. Mine is black and needs buffing out and a dent in the upper rail of the bed on the passenger side. Going to need some fiberglass work. I really do want to drive this thing though. I have never had a lifted truck of any kind before. I wish I know the vision that the kids grandfather had in mind and what all he might have done that I haven't found yet. The air box was removed in the past at some point with a K&N round filter. Not cool, as the radiator fan probably disturbs the air pretty much to it.

Thannks again guys..

I don't mind things pointed out that i have missed or the small details such as roller lifter and flat tappet stuff. I did look up usshift and they do offer lots of info. Just have to call them.

 

It was probably cheaper for Ford to use the flat tappet setup. It’s a truck and not a Mustang so not exactly a performance vehicle. Post. #24….


The ‘89 302 had E7 heads and the ‘94 351W roller block I bought for my truck had E7 heads so why would you believe that someone swapped in those heads?

 

Agreed on Ford probably just using up old stock with flat tappets. Makes sense from a financial standpoint. GM did the same for the TBI trucks.

I would do a small roller cam while that far in, even the OE roller 351W cam is a big upgrade compared to that junk OE 302 unit.

 

do you mean how the same RPO for engine in a car vs truck meant roller vs flat tappet?

(L05 is 5.7 tbi im pretty sure, a 1993 roadmaster and a 1993 truck would be roller and flat tappet respectively)
