Yes, they are '94-'04 "style" 18" Bullitts. They came from ebay years ago (OEWheels, I believe).

Those of you who don't get to the other sites often, here are some pics of this year's work:













Made new harness, new ECU, new FEAD, cam, valve springs, pushrods, timing chain, painted the engine bay, new overflow/washer box, new hoses, moved some stuff around, etc.
Did you have any issues with those wheels firing the front hubs? I had to use spacers on mine. Doesn't look like you did?

Thanks guys!

Allpau, the wheels originally needed a 5/16" or so spacer to clear the hub, to fit the center cap. I now have a custom made hub to accept a Cobra 13" rotor, and I added long studs with a half inch spacer. The large spacer is to match the look of the rear wheels.

The engine looks much different now, too: New intake manifold, air intake, MAF sensor, injectors... And a whole lot of dirt! I drive the thing as much as possible.

I'm sure this has been discussed a thousand times before, but I'm new on here and DON'T really feel like browsing every thread that has the answer(s). So if you don't mind me asking, what all explorer and/or sn95 mustang parts do you need to keep your ac? That's one hell of a swap btw. Looks extremely good :icon_thumby:
