Well, after almost 6 months - I finally have the X sitting back in the garage!

The new engine is running great. I have run into one problem after another getting this done (none with the truck - just in life in general). I'm glad its all done. I ended up getting another Explorer 5.0 crate engine new for $1500 and using it as my starting point. Put a Comp Cam, 1.6 FMS Rockers and springs, MSD DIS4 ignition, MSD coil packs, 80mm MAS, Homemade intake with K&N on the end, 24lb injectors, Lightning fuel pump, Mallory adjustable fuel pressure regulator, FMS headers with a complete 3" new exhaust from the headers back (Flowmaster 40 series), a couple of other things... oh yeah - and a completely rebuilt and ported Eaton M90 supercharger with an 8lb pulley.



Now all I have to finish up is the fiberglass work I am doing and paint, and really give the suspension and undercarriage some TLC. The winter of 2003/2004 really did a number on the bottom. Its going to take a few hours of running the steel pads on places to get it cleaned up and ready for new paint under there also.

But I finally get to put some of the parts on I've been collecting over the winter on... my wife is happy - let me tell you....

 

very sweet. i have just begun looking at these explorer setups after buying a cobra m112 eaton blower for my capri. would love to see some pics of what your intake looks like (even though its just an m90)

you should stick that puppy on a dyno...

 

yea, couple photos would be nice...

 

Where can you get a new crate engine for 1500?

 

Sounds good David. Going to have to get together sometime so I can have a look at it.

 

I would like that information also.

 

Just noticed this thread is from 2005. That's where you can get a new crate motor for $1500 lol

 

Back to the FUTURE!!!
