amrcnidyot dude where do you live, ill come down there and clean your engine for you.. haha

 

lol, thanks man, but i just did the other day. i know it was really bad in that pic, i didnt really care at the time, it was just a quick couple of pics.

 

actually the f150 would probably be a little harder. it is quite a bit taller than the windstar and all around bigger. it is heavy alumnium instead of the plastic stuff the windstar is made of. the aluminum would make it great for porting and polishing though. the f150 would also probably be a little easier to tap holes for vac ports. the windstar is risky because you dont want to strip out the plastic

 

how about clearance??

 

Edmunds lists the windstar as 200/225 hp/tq, and the only difference between their engines and ours is the upper intake, correct? I don't understand whereyour gains are coming from considering ours are rated at 193/220

edit: I guess if your numbers were at the crank...

 

that, and we have a better exhaust system, are lighter, and trannys transfer power better

 

i looked it up on msn auto and it was rated at 200hp/240tq so thosegains seem kinda accurate

 

im gonna find out tonight. im gonna find out how bad this is gonna be. im placing the windstar on the lower tonight just to get an idea. i doubt i do much modding to make everythign work tonight but i want ot know how bad its gonna be. my guess is im going to find out that i have to wait untill i get my mach hood to do this... ill let you guys know

 

i just stoped to get dinner but wow, the windstar is actually goin good. my only problem is i need a 01-04 throttle cable and have nowhere to get one...its ****in gay, i might have to wait to do this till i get one. other than that its awesome. im gonna use hood pins to hold my hood down. i can shut it but i cant slam it shut like i need 2 so ill use pins. now im goin back to work on it

 

why do u need a 01-04 throttle cable
sounds like its goin good then, hope it all works out for ya
why get hood pins, just shut it easy and then dont worry when u get ur mach hood
