Yes, I run the lightning upper as well... p.s. its my understanding that the Explorer upper flows similar cfm compared to Lightning... but I think the tubular upper is sexier. ;)

I went E.D.I.S. Once I found the Lightning lower, EFIGUY made it plug and play, supplying the harness and tune. Ran great right out of the box.

Another vote for 351... I put built mine in 2005, did the serp drive in 2012ish and found a Lightning lower a couple years later. I would love to go 408 but engine runs so good just can't justify making the switch...

I have the Volvo fan and relays too. Works well but lots of pieces to put in place first as Broncobowsher suggested.

Thanks for the kind words. :) As of right now, waiting list is zero so let me know if interested.

Another vote for hydroboost and leave rear drum. makes a huge difference.

Did you use the Explorer timing cover and balancer? If yes, then just use the Explorer pulse trigger/pointer. Every Explorer or Mountaineer that I have seen has them.

Unfortunately, I do not have any extras. Timing cover is the hardest part to get for exactly the reason you described. Damn waterpump bolts... Is always the same 2...

I broke 3 '20s before I went 205. Might want to leave it in there...

LOL! Too funny... :D

I stood the block up with bell housing end down and lowered the cam carefully in.

Routing for the 5.0 is similar to V6. One of the waterpump bolts has a stud for the wiring to attach to.

Wow, so many to pick from... going to be difficult to narrow it down.

Front disc 1st then I would add hydro boost before I did rear disc . Really makes a difference.

If you are tossing serp belts, I'm wondering if its an alignment issue. I've never lost one either.

You are going to love hydroboost! :) Made my own flat bracket that moved the unit toward the fender. Moved the pedal over to where the clutch pedal would normally go. I never do it the easy way...

Love me some "Laid-Back shirts. Have 3 or 4 now and adding a couple to my Christmas list... :)

Those 2 waterpump bolts are the biggest pain for me. Watching this thread for suggestions. only one I can offer is heat from a torch to help break thing loose... Too bad junk yards don't allow torches. :(

Currently have a short waiting list (1). Shouldn't take long ... See post 451 if you want to get in line.

Made some room for more PM’s...
