No updates at this time other than someone tried to steal it and busted my ignition. I'm still broke from my wedding last month. hopefuly i'll make some progress in the next couple months.

Sorry to hear man, hope you or someone else finds the punk who tried to steal it. On the other hand congrats on the wedding!

Clip the hot wire going to the fuel pump and install a hidden switch that you can easily flip, that way if some punk does get it to where they can turn the engine over, it won't fire up.

I put a fake wire connector on the fender well that looks like the fuel pump plug, when I park the truck somewhere that I don't trust, I unplug it from the real socket, and plug it into the fake socket.

Thanks for the idea Robert.

Well I've been given the green light to use my 95 explorer for what ever I want. 4.0 swap maybe? I have a few questions though.

1. i've already done a duraspark on my 2.8. will this cause me problems?

2. the explorer has a m50d with electric t case. will my b2 manual t case fit on it?

3. it's a 95. i know most people use 91-94. are there any differences that will cause me trouble?

subscribed! Great build so far man. Keep up the awesome work.

Well I'm changing directions. I will no longer be swapping in the 4.0 because I decided to trade it in on a new car for my wife. What's comming is chevy TBI from a 92 2.8L S10 Blazer. Me and Cammeddrz went to the JY saturday and got the thottle body, computer, and harness.

my thread is in my sig. i messed with my photobucket and screwed my thread up. ill have to start a new one. im currently gathering parts for my sas so hopefully i can get mine back on track. the junk yards around me dont have anything that i need and craigslist there hasnt been much. it sucks but i got the engine done and in and i gutted the interior to change the burgandy to black. its been awhile since ive been able to get out and work on it. hopefully i can get into the garage this summer to start cutting and welding.

good luck with the nw direction. ill keep watching to see how it goes.
