Well...a small update. The gold truck I was going to buy turned out to be a bucket. I have been on craigslist everyday looking basically south of the Mason Dixie Line for a rust free truck. Reason is just about everything north has rust or will very soon. That's part of life living in the north. I'm from Florida and have been in the show me state for about 7 years now and I guess Ill never get use to the rust issues they(we) have here. Anyway...
Going to Florida to pick up a White 99 reg cab stepside flex fuel 3.0 auto with ALL options (including a blown headgasket..��
Which is what I wanted to begin with. One that doesn't run for cheap. Got it for $400. Almost ding free to! Power windows locks tilt cruise all that stuff. I found only 2 others that was in my price range for a toy... Just could never get ahold of the people.
Being a 99 v6 truck, Ill be using a 99-01 expo/need wiring engine swap for basically plug and play. HOWEVER... I may use a 90-93 mustang 5.0 harness swap to because putting a supercharger on is not out of the question yet. My old 91 coupe I built had a306 5 speed with a Vortech S-Trim(18lbs boost) trick flow heads cam intake 42 lbs injectors with methanol injection. Did 525hp to the rear tires .
And got 17mpg on the highway with Ac. I can't find any info on a blower for a explorer in the 96-01 years.
Pics of the truck when I get back next week.
