Yes the engine is built and running. Was running. Needed something better than the 35-255-5 cam that was in there.
Last time the engine comes apart. Before reassembly and paint.

Sweet. Can't wait to see it when she's all done

Used the skin off the red gate and the inner from the NOS one.

Mede a little more progress tonight but not without some issues. Had to remove the baffles in the valve covers to clear the girdle, also the intake needs milled to drop in place. But it's progress.

I guess I should update this since it's been a little more than a year since the last update.

 

[Jamie V]

Only if there is something to update.

 

[Jason Smith]

All I heard was blah blah blah.
I'm sorting through pics. Patients.

New: oil cap, lug nuts, shift knob, fire extinguisher, monster tach, led mirrors, Chrome footie gas pedal, Christmas tree air freshener.
Planning: Lambo doors....
Sorry Jason, I just had to.

Ok, dumped the ford efi and went to a fast classic, and a US shift. Took a few pointers from Tommy and hollowed out and old computer for a plug and play Us shift install.

Converted the rear to disc brakes.

Also did some suspension upgrades, new starter and wiring, valve body upgrade. Finally got it running again on the new system big thanks to Gregg, Johnny, Ed and tommy from team sneaky.

Looks good. Keep it up

Team Sneaky? I'm revoking your loudmouth motors membership... looking good, my friend! I didn't know you got the rear disc setup done. Let me know when and we'll get a work day done.

Did you go with 9" ends on the diff or something else? Looks like a stand alone mini mod thread.

Looks like the explorer 8.8 disc brake swap.
