    351w vs 5.0 Explorer

    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. ;)

    351w vs 5.0 Explorer

    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.

    351w vs 5.0 Explorer

    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...

    Electric fan

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

    Explorer front dress timing pointer?

    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...

    crank sensor wire routing

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

    4 Wheel Disc or just Front?

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

    Thinking of a 351W swap, things to look out for??

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

    Finally going Hydroboost

    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...

    Water pump replacement - tips not to break bolts

    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. :(
