Thought I would let you know about my Project.
I have done 5 first gen V8 build in the past.
And been away from the conversions for a while.
But have become interested again. Now that the IRS 4x4 is now a low cost option.
Been driving the 4.0 SOC stuff. But now have learned to hate the 3 cam chain deal.
SO I am back to the bullet proof push-rod 5.0 engine Mated to the tough cop car auto trans. That came in the last push-rod V8 Explorer !
Purchased a nice lower mile 2001 Expo. And like most started planing to swap everything over.
But before long, started thinking. I actually want a tough durable DD Flat bed work truck.
Why not just use the EXPO frame.
Today Made the rear cab mounts. Using the mounts I cut off a junk / bent Ranger frame.
I feel this plan is going to Work out !
