It feel like I'm posting all the time. Hopefully I'm not annoying anyone.
Ok so I drive a lot of the cars that come through our shop. None of them give me the seat of your pants feel like my 4.0ohv. Why is this? My engine has 209k on it and its the first 4.0 ford had. I can do burnouts and donuts all day, its quite fascinating.(my stock 8.8 probly helps though)
here's my old question but revised. Apparently ford tuned the 4.0ohv all the way to riceville and back. I learned that apparently the port n polish/bigger cam builds will neggate some of you low end. And it first the 4.0 started its life as a 2.8 then 2.9 and then ford got crazy and bored/stroked it almost as much as possible. Is there any real thing to do to boost low and high end?
I love the tourqe out of my 4.0. I don't want to lose a bit of it. I have the little tick problem but onces she's warmed up its gone. I just havnt torn it down to replace rocker/pushrods yet. Doubt the hydro roller lifters are shot though.
I'm 19 but I'm way past oil changes. Im just trying to keep my truck on the road...possibly forever.
