Yep throw some ported cleveland heads on there, and make a custom intake, that would be bad of the badass!
Should I buy this motor???

65mm or so i believe. it'll work, just gotta do a few little mods to it because of the arm being clocked at a diff position, and maybe the TPS? read this:

seems to me like a better deal than buying one brand new. i've got mine sitting in my room but i havent taken the time to mess with it yet.
Also, i've heard the orange 19lb injectors I have off the 97 explorer motor i bought will work. I've "heard" these are more efficient because of the 4 hole design or somethin?? not too sure on that, but somethin to look into i guess. Any ideas how much is a reasonable price for the set of 8 if i sold em??

You lucky son of a bitch!! I was drooling over the damn thing the whole time I was there lol.
The yard is pulling it for me, even though I told them I'd pull it, some gay policy...
So I am definately going to pick up that 351 soon then I guess. The guy is pretty cool too. He's a Delta mechanic and has several project cars with a big warehouse behind his hous with 7 cars in it and a bunch more parts cars on the outside. One of his cars is a badass 69 fastback Mach clone, with a 427, thing is sick, and I usually don't like the color he chose(baby blue) but it is hot ****!!
What do I do about EGR? Just throw the space in the stock position and leave it be? It's not functioning right now anyway.
Plano. It's about 20 minutes North of Dallas. Good luck with the explorer motoe Beast.
Well I got there this morning, went and checked it out, its all good, except for the fa t it WASN"T ready to pull. I paid the 400plus tax= 432 and the guy said go get some breakfast and come back and it'll be ready. I come back and the guy is cuttin the header off with a sawzall and said it'll be tonight by the time it is done. Well Now I am gonna pick it up tuesday. I'll keep you guys pdated.

K well I am off to pick up some tires. But I just thought I would mention that I saw a red 5.0 GT in U.S. Marshalls, I know we always have those threads bout 5.0's in movies.
haha! i was just thinking about one of those threads cause i saw a green 4eye GT in the movie species!!
the junkyard let me rip apart the explorer motor right there. they said i could take as long as i wanted and take whatever i wanted. it toook me FOREVER to get the driver side header off!!! once i got it off they're like "it woulda been easier to just ask for our saw"
Do you guys know if I can use the MAF on the explorer? Is it worth anything? I got a 70 mm TB yesterday courtesy of 88GTStreetrod so I don't need the explorer tb, anyone wants it they can have it.
BTW steve thanks alot again and I fixed the sticking problem, all I did was adjust the little blade stop screw so it didn't close as much and it doesn't stick at all, it was just closing too much before.
I want to get a MAF to match the TB so if the explorer isn't a 70 mm I'll just get one off a sn95 5.0.
Thanks for any help guys.

I'll give you the TB, do you have a welder? If not, if you come to my house, we can cut the thing and weld it to fit your car, like in the directions above.

im gonna try and make it to the heezy, were bringin the notch as well, you dont have to cut it, I have a elbow from a exploder that I snagged the intake off of and it bolts up fine with the throttle cable hooked up, but I hear the tb is different on the exploders. we will see!
