    Engine 2000 VS 2003 Balance

    I replaced the motor from my 2003 3.8 V6 Automatic with a motor from a 2000 3.8 V6 Manual. I removed the pilot bearing and and transferred over the flex plate. The replacement motor (2000) has tons of vibration. I am about to replace the harmonic balancer but have read that they are different...

    Just picked up a 2003 V6 with a rod knocking.

    I just picked up a 2003 Convertible with a rod knocking. It is the 3.8 V6. I also have a good SBF 5.0 out of a 2000 explorer laying around that I was going to sale. I know the 5.0 will bolt right up to the transmission and will fit. I think I would have to change the exhaust, harness, and...

    Upgrades to 69 Engine and transmission.

    I am looking for caveats, pros, and cons of this swap. I have a 2000 Explorer with the 5.0 GT40P setup and 4R70W Transmission. I pulled the harness also. I also have the engine and transmission out of a 1995 E150 5.8L with the E4OD (Overdrive C6) Transmission. My Plan is to take the 5.8 and...

    Help. Need interchange info.

    I picked up a 1979 302 (From an LTD) and would like to know what problems if any I will have just using it for the short block and putting all of my 85 gt stuff on it. The 85 GT 5.0 is roller cam with valve reliefs in the pistons. The 79 has good compression and runs good but has a 2bbl with a...

    88 Cougar VS 86 Mustang Interchangeability

    I am thinking about scrapping out the 88 Cougar I have and using the 3.8L V6 in my stang. But I am not sure if it is an easy swap or a royal PITA. Or possibly just using the AOD in place of my C3 that I have in the Mustang. The Mustang currently has a 2.3 L4 with the C3. I know I would have the...

I got the time to put it all back together this weekend. No problem with reassembly except a missing exhaust manifold bolt. Plus no...

    I aquired a 86 LX L4 C3 Stang that has a 1 BBL Carb on it. I have a 2BBL off of an older PINTO Yes I did say the bad word PINTO. So My question is what carb would be better. I am thinking the 2BBL for a better power curve (Like this motor actually has any Power) and possibly better economy. It...
