LOL Well I wasn't planning on breaking any thing except the tires loose,lol, I'm back home in Oregon now but when I get back I'll make the bracket I need to hang the alternator and put the huffer on my car. When I get back here for good from the military I'm going to start hounding my dad for one of his old fords and it'll probably find it's way onto some thing vintage.

Just before I came home I was turning into my drive way and bottomed it out cracking the crap out of it so I guess when I get back to my temporary home I'm going to find another front bumper and I want a newer rear end with disk brakes, the newer ones are a little wider and should push the back tires out and hopefully will help with the rubbing out back. The 05 wheels have too much off set.

Guess the stock replacement clutch wasnt meant to handle any more then what the stock 225horse 300ftlbs 302 put out. I cant get into it any more and I suspect my clutch is the culprit.

Im screwing together another bottom end for it, I have arp main studs screwed in, new rings and bearings, new high volume oil pump with arp drive, and im putting in a set of trick flow springs, retainers and locks. depending on how my cam looks when i get it out of the current engine i may end up going with a trick flow cam too. All of this is in preperation for the super charger, i dont want to put it on a engine with oiling problems....

Well my rotating assembly is alltogether with new rings, rod and main bearings and arp main studs oiled and wrapped in plastic in a corner of the garage. I started on head clean up so i can inspect them and put in the new valve springs, I hope to have them finished by the end of this coming weekend. I also ordered arp head studs today and a aluminum radiator cause like me my car needs a little help in the cooling department........

Thanks, well hopefully every one can see them now, I cant the page is too big to load on my phone. This engine is pretty much the last one going in for a while. The final build specs being a 97 mountaineer block freshed up with new rings, rod and main bearings, with arp main and head studs and a high volume oil pump with a arp drive. The cam is going to be reused, its a B303 .480 Lift and 224 duration i believe. The heads got trick flow valve springs, retainers and locks, the new springs will take a .542 lift cam which is perfect for my 1.7 roller rocker arms that turn my lift to a .510 leaving me room to go bigger on the cam later. Im undecided on intakes wether to put the explorer back on but the injectors are getting swapped for 24#ers and the 76mm maf is going on and the 70mm throttle body is staying and the paxton is going on aswell. The exhaust is still the frp headers for the gt40p heads and a dual 21/2 x pipe to flowies, the suspension is 4cylinder springs all the was around with a v8 sway bar up front with poly bushings and a 96cobra rear sway bar out back along with the cobra disk break rear end with 4.10s. I also installed the big 13" cobra rotors and twin piston calipers up front. I also took the cobra fuel pump to feed the engine, the 4 cylinder pump didnt have enough volume. I still have to weld in my subframe ties, the heat down here gets to me so it is slowing things down a bit. Now if only I can find a decent job when I get home so I can work on my truck.

Yah i know I misspelled some stuff, touch screen phones and beer dont mix........ When I do get home if any one has some leads on a 351W id be interested preferably a mid 90s block with a roller cam just to simplify things for me but id consider all 351w's.
