Hello,
Phooooooooooph‼. Gaz blows the 5 year pile of dust off own...old 2018 thread
There have been a few changes to the list of components and a couple additions to the list. Additionally, the time line, that was back burner time and time again for the past 5 painful years has come to a head.
CURRENT COMPONENT LIST
• complete 1994 SFI-MAF-EDIS OHV 4.0l with harness/EEC
• Hypertech Performance CHiP
• Oregon Cam Grinders custom reground cam
• 1.55 rockers
• 98 spec heads/valves
• Endrigo flow benched port/polished heads/intakes
• Endrigo performance valve job
• Endrigo bored stock T/B
• 2001 SOHC Ford 4.0l flat top pistons
• JBA Headers for Ford 2.9l
• Borla true dual 2¼" exhaust
• Cloyes timing set
• Gates water pump
• Melling oil pump
• 2001 upper/lower oil pan
Most notable change is that my machinist/engineer comrade finally convinced me that a full bottom end balance will have a minimum value in my daily driver (completely apologize to all on here who failed to convince me).
MY GOAL
"Purpose-built" OHV 4.0l (237 HP/275 TQ) in 1987 BroncoII chasis (3,200 lbs) achieving 34.6 mpg during dedicated highway driving (cross country drives) on a 4" suspension lift, 3.73 gearing and 28.5" to 30" tires using only premium fuel.
