Ok, so I have been reading like a mad man because I just found a 96 explorer 5.0 for $500 with harness and computer. I am having him pull the throttle pedal and cable, a 94' 2 core radiator, 99 lower hose, the coolant return bottle and getting an astro van hydroboost.
1.Can anyone please tell me if there is anything I am missing from the parts car?
2. and what is the main difference if I use the explorer computer or a mustang computer?
3. and why you would change the distributor?
4. Also, can I even use the explorer harness? seems like it would be the preferred choice, I built the last two, one from the XR-7, the other a mustang
5. and I am going to rebuild the motor, and want 300hp, if one of the HP gurus could chim in on what throttle body and injectors I would need I sure would appreciate it.
I have done a XR-7 5.0 before and also a 351W GT-40 EFI, but those were very similar to the mustang. Now I read these builds and people are switching back to those parts.
my final combo is going to be
96 explorer motor (300hp/ 350ft torque--- if possible)
NV3550
D20- Jshift
4.56 locked front and rear full width 79' axles
35" tires
