That is starting to look great! Looking forward in seeing it in person.

That is a very interesting piece! Guess I'll spend some time with a parts catalog from Hayden, Evercool or one of the other manufactures. Thanks for the suggestion.

So I'm almost at the point that I need to figure out the coolant temperature sensors also. I've got the oil pressure handled with a T-fitting. I'm not going to run the Explorer metal heater lines with my Vintage Air conversion. Explorer has two ports in the lower intake manifold, one for a temp...

Glad to hear that everything is working out for you and your family. We are planning on attending BSC West this year. Hope to meet you in person.

That's my '68 Bronco project! It was good to get out Saturday and see some classic iron and even a Stroppe Baja with CA plates in the parking lot at Cars and Coffee, Speedway Motors Museum of American Speed. And also good to see old friends and catch up.

I've worked with my local rebuilder on many different projects and I know that he stands behind his work. I took my '97 4R70W over to him to rebuild and now it awaits to be installed.

Just what I needed to know! Thanks Broncobowsher!!

I have a question to add to this great discussion. But first some details. I'm performing a '97 Explorer 5.0 swap. I've made it through the transmission rebuild part of this without any problems. My question pertains to the transfercase, specifically the Atlas II. Is there any modifications...

Looking at the heads and lower intake manifold on my '97 donor, it reminded me of the old SBC intake manifold gaskets that had the heat riser block offs built into them. Has anyone seen these to fit our SBF intakes? This would then keep all of the hot exhaust out of the intake manifold. Also...

F'nA! That is great to hear. Can't wait for the driving video!

Use a motor oil designed for new engine break-in with flat tappet camshafts. It is expensive but cheaper than having a lobe wiped off of a cam. The local performance engine builder keeps pallets of this stuff in stock. Link to some information...

I'm looking at this same conversion on my '68 project, '97 explorer 5.0 conversion. I will need to purchase a new tank as I don't have one currently. I'm a pump in tank guy so that is the direction that I'm going to go. I would like to run SS hard lines down the frame rail. My question for this...

I don't have any experience with header ball flanges yet but always used wheel bearing grease on the cast iron manifold mating surfaces. This was the manifold to head surface and the manifold to exhaust pipe surface. I've even used grease on the fiber gaskets that slip on the pipe at the...

If you put a turn signal bulb in-line with the negative battery cable and the battery terminal, it acts as a current limiter to avoid causing damage to the wiring and switches if there is a dead short. With everything turned off, the bulb should not be lit. No current flow = no light. When...

I'm working on a '97 Explorer conversion to '68 EB. This thread answers almost all of the questions that I've been asking myself. Thanks to all that have contributed! Side note: Wish there was one big tech document that combined all of the 5.0/4R70W/EFI/PS/AC/serpentine information together.

Is Ford the only place to get this Heater Tube Assembly new?

Hello everyone! I'm starting this same journey with my '68 by installing a '97 explorer. Question that I have is for the engine oil dipstick. My original is rusty and cracked by the exhaust manifold. Are you using an original replacement or something aftermarket?

I'm just starting this Explorer 5.0/4R70W swap in my '68 project. Just got the '97 engine/transmission assembly home. I've emailed Garry and I'm on the waiting list to send my harness to him. Subscribed!

I had some HID bulbs in a '91 F150 and fully understand the light scattering and blinding of oncoming drivers. Learned the hard way by spending cash. But I did discover an odd effect that the HID had at speed on washboard roads. They would act like the arc was bouncing with the washboards! It...
