Hello fellas,
I've been doing a lot of research here and in other forum posts. I've acquired a lot of great information, but wondering if you guys knew of any other tips and tricks when building this prerunner. I will be using a virgin 94 4.0 4X4 5spd. Before I got into the off road race scene, I was in the drag racing scene with the fox body mustangs. Sooooooo with that being said, I already bought a 97 explorer donor, its the awd auto with the 5.0. I know that I should use the md05-r2 trans with custom driveline, engine mounts and trans mounts, I Will be keeping it a 5spd. As far as shifter position, ill make my own .. I will be redoing the engine before I stab it, like heads cam intake. Now I have a few questions like about fuel system as far as the return crap. Also I know I may need to reflash the 5.0 computer so that it knows its a manual trans correct? What about speedometer and rpm gauges, I would love the keep the og dash and og cluster. Any input there? Thanks for the help guys. Any response will be greatly appreciated..
