As Borat would say, "very nice! Hello Mr.s Edsel, Hello President Jeremy Ford" [sm=hiya.gif]

If you are looking for a bit of old school, Cobranda sells a set of tall "Cobra Powered by Ford" style valve covers made... taller for roller rockers on 5.0 engines. Or Delta Mustangs has spacers for stock covers.

Keep up the great work.

let's see what i can remember
machine work -$400'ish
trickflow tw - $1000
full roller rockers, arp studs and guideplates, trickflow pushtubes - $200'ish
upper/lower intake, throttle body, fuel rails - $35 (EBAY BABY!)
engine rebuild kit here - $400
all the efi sensors, computer, ostrich emulator - about $100-150?? i dont remember


basically looking at $2500, if not more

that intake is relly gonna hold back those heads might want to check the junkyards for a 96-01 5.0 explorer intake(flows the same as gt-40, cobra) and can be picked up for cheap u can always get ur 35$ backl out of that one

rmodel65

also if u find the explorer motor steal the injectors also(19lbs) they are the four hole design they atomize the fuel better. if ur gonna go with 24lbs then the 93 and up lincoln mark8 have them junkyard cheap

the intake will be upgraded once the car is running. i'm going to set it up like this initially, since it was only $35.

rmodel65

ok yeah but dont forget about those exploder intakes best junkyard intake u can find www.50resto.com sell mustang plaques for it so it doenst look like an explorer one
