LOL, that seems to be my m.o. as well... original engine replaced with a 351 14 years ago. waiting for it to break so I can do that stroker... (I beat it pretty hard but it just won't die!) :p

Sweet looking truck! Have fun and enjoy it 8-)

I have met a handful myself. Good peeps for sure. I was at Kennedy Space Center last weekend sportin' a Bronco t-shirt. Saw another guy wearing one so I went over to talk... Turned out to be a wanna be owner...maybe he will get one some day...

I'm thinking that removing the sign is part of the deal... A bummer if you aren't set up to do it.

Saw the title and feared the worst... Fire or accident was. 1st thing that came to mind. Glad it wasn't that! Sounds more like a flesh wound. Hope you make a quick recovery. Checking grounds is good advice and great place to start.

Welcome to the forums by the way! Very helpful bunch of enthusiasts here. Some one is always ready to help.

Check with timmy390 on the truck serp. Pretty sure he has one on his truck...

Very cool that you posted the info up. Knowing that you have options helps for making decisions.

Oh wow! That is just down the road from me! Too bad it won't fit anywhere...:( Will be interesting to see what it goes for...

This is a great thread with excellent advice. Wondering what normal bearing temps are and when to start getting concerned?

Really big greasy stuff goes to the do it yourself car wash. Smaller stuff goes into harbor freight parts washer filled with mineral based solvent

If interested, pm me a zip code and I can figure out shipping. Big heavy box...�� Currently on spring break with the family so it might be a week or more....

Yes it fits. All the Windsor engines(221,260,289,302,351,5.0&5.8) used the same bolt pattern for the timing cover. Bolt pattern on the heads, for the accessory brackets is also the same. Should be a bolt up.

Yep, that is where they break. Good you found it the way you did.

I might be a little biased (;)) but I would do Explorer serp like most of the others said... so many improvements in one package...

Yes, studs are for wire harnesses on the stock Explorer 5.0. Just go to a bolt supply place and get 3 1/4" long grade 8 bolts and you should be good...

What years F series, do you know? Electric radiator fan. future circuits for fuel injection?

awesome video! Nicely done. Gotta get down one of these years...

Make sure you lube the rubber seal with oil too so it doesn't start up dry. Does the crank have a groove worn in it?

I'd like to say I do all my own work but truth be told I have a couple of very good friends that are like MacGyver, can fix damn near anything. So I lean on them pretty heavily for my projects and upgrades. Awesome to have good friends to help! :)
