    Hey all, I finished my c4 to t5 swap about a month ago. Still some bugs to work out, but all in all, it kicks a**. Problem is, I've gone through 2 used starters. The first was a mini starter. Was DOA. I sat on it for 5 months before the care started running, so as far as junk yard...

    96 explorer engine cam and valvetrain suggestions

    Hey everybody, I picked up a 96 explorer engine at the junkyard and am finishing cleaning it up. The idea here is to run this engine for a few years while I address some other issues on the cougar. So I'll reseal the engine, and drop a cam in it, put on my performer intake and carb...

    Harmonic balancer installer

    I took the crankshaft bolt down to the local Ace hardware. It cost me 5.71$ to put this together. I should be able to press on my new dampener without the use of a hammer or block of wood. Sure beats 66.95 at Summit. I used grade 8 to make sure the thread didn't give way, not likely, but I...
