Hey dude..sorry if i came off as a dick earlier...the main thing is you had time and the tools to do it your way, and it worked out well for ya. I do things differently sometimes, so what place did I have to come off like I did. For that, I'm sorry.

So..are you pulling the engine from to put in another, or rebuild or what's the plan(s)?

I need to get on the ball with my other 5.0..get it to the shop for some cleaning so I can try to have it together for a summer test drive. Still have a few things to do yet, such as locate an Explorer intake set..

Anyway...just wanted to apologize and find out a little more about your goings-on...BTW, what ever came of your SHO? (I must've missed the result of that one..?)
'98 Explorer 5.0
'20 Malibu (I know, Chevy, but, 35MPG. Let's go brandon, eh)

I appreciate that Beau, thank you.

I started out with 2 T-Birds, and I'm ending with 1 Bird and a part out car.  The SHO came out well, but as soon as it was good and I was happy with it, I got out and sold it.  I hate doing things twice, but if it had come to 3 times I might have needed to be locked up.

Swapped the axle assemblies today, done by noon. With the new headers, the new H-pipe, and the new roadrunner 2600rpm stall converter, it faster than the other car ever was, and that was before swapping the stock 2.73 for the other car's 3.73.
