I have owned this 97 x cab for 6 months with the intent of putting a 5.0 and AOD under the hood. So far I have bought several pieces of interior plastic from my local playground (Snake Road Salvage) while they are still available. Also picked up a 94 Mustang 5.0 that took a bad hit in left front area. The upper intake was broken, timing cover broken, oil pan has extra hole, exhaust manifold mangled, valve cover dented, ac and ps brackets broken, water pump shaft seems bent and the crank wouldn't turn but a few degrees either way. After removing the heads the crank problem turned out to be a bunch of loose carbon in cyl's at or near TDC. That's a lot of carbon and it came loose with out using any chemicals! Got an AOD from 92 van w/302 it may have the good ratio gears but I don't know how to tell. It will go to a rebuilder some day. Last week I swapped in a 8.8 3.55 traction lock rear axle. This week I had to take out the axle so I could remove the 5'6" fuel tank. (This must be one of Fords better ideas) Installing a smaller tank from a 94 reg cab, of course the fuel pump/level units are not the same height. Since I have all of this apart I might as well put in a new pump/level unit. So the question of the day is will 4.0 pump support a EFI 347ci?? Any suggestions?? KG
