Hey kwik, you have really helped me out before man and I once again need your advise. Could you please see my thread "02 hangs up in park" in the explorer forum and give me your thoughts. Thanks a million!

 

there is a PM system to contact members.

 

ford390gashog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I'm glad LAUDY feels they can ask for help from an experienced member here, after all we're all Ford fans here. Kwik has been very helpful in more than a few posts that might seem to be out of the realm of the PSD format. I've even gleened some insight from you, even though it was not the info I was looking for. BTW,,, 390FE??? I once had a 428 side oiler FE in an '84 F150 1/2 ton 4x4, what a screamer!!!!!

 

i wasn't trying to be rude. just pointing out that there is a PM system.


also the only side oiler was a 427 FE if you have one what a great engine. they sell for over 20,000.00. how hard was the swap into the 84?

 

This is off the subject, but why was it called a side oiler?

 

I wasn't saying you were rude, my apologies, only that we are all Ford fans here. My typo,,,,, 427 side oiler FE, bought from an old timer here($500.00) where I live, quite a bit of modification to make it fit,,,,, complete rebuild on motor, new C6 transmission case, custom motor mounts, custom exhaust, custom radiator, etc,,,,,,,, but what a fun truck!!!!!!

 

Ah....the side oiler. Wish I had a tunnel port..............

 

i have had my eye on this for a while 20,000.00 . how much did the rebuild cost you 5 maybe 10K ? you can't even get the parts for less than 4k.

 

I'm stiff all over more than any where else,,,my heart is pounding................ only a PSD will calm me down! I spent over $6500.00 and my 1st marriage on this truck!!!! money well spent in my checkbook!

 

Anything with the name Shelby on it will bring respect in any circle,,,,,,,,,,

 

I hate to say this but the car this came out of was I believe a '60s vintage galaxy 500, they used to tow a ***** spreader through the fields with this car....... I'm not exactly sure on the car though, just sad how it was used........

 

Sorry LAUDY, got way off subject here...... my apologies.

 

I went and looked at your question over there and I don't have any answers for you. Zero experience on Exploders. Sorry. But thank you for the vote of confidence.
Closing thread now as this is the diesel forum.
