You may want to consider dropping your oil and checking it.. Have you tried to verify it isn't a failing head gasket? They can progressively fail and not manifest itself in much more than what appears as extra/excess blow by..

Here's to hoping the Fenfab updated oil pan can eliminate some of the worry.. Guys should be checking their oil at least weekly, if not more often if you're beating on the car..

We have one of these at work today.. Tore it down to do a full color-match..

Hell yeah!!! Wife and I are about to move to a house with a garage, finally, so I will probably begin modding after we get settled.. Do you DD your ST?? I imagine with that much power, it'd be a lot of fun just cruising!!!

I am near Central MA, border of RI.. I have literally lived all over the state, Lowell, New Bedford, Worcester, etc...

Love the build!!! I'm in MA, and hope to see you fly by one day!!! Are you doing the build or are you having a shop build the engine? If it's a shop, is it one in CT?

Depends on how much time you have, mechanical experience and tools.. Since you're replacing good parts with good parts, theoretically, you should just be able to torque everything, align it and go. Any of these components with be fine by themselves, though.

You can always grab a flash light and check out your wheel liners for contact..

I haven't done a swap on my Explorer, but have done swaps on other vehicles, and by virtue of its location, and everything in the way, it is going to be that involved. Many newer vehicles opt for dropping engine/tranny/subframe to do the bigger jobs.. Great if you have a lift or a way to get...

Are you guys going to keep the deck the way it is and just upgrade the hardware and head gaskets?

I think their actual name is POM rivets.. Most typical rivet guns can't place them, but I bet you could pick up a cheap version at Harbor Freight, if you're not planning on doing this more than once. I think the front bumper cover has a couple as well. Now removing the front bumper...

I've taken off a few of these, not too hard. I don't believe it's feasible to try and remove the lower with the whole cover on the car.. I would recommend having someone there with you to help remove it so you don't drop and damage it further. Don't forget to unplug the bumper harness before you...

Is this still available?

I'd say visually check all of your suspension bushings for abnormal wear and check your struts for leaking. Even if the struts aren't leaking, doesn't mean they aren't bad.

I know this is an old thread, but after some searching, I hadn't found anything recent. Are any of the aftermarket service manuals online worthwhile to purchase? I am mostly looking for engine teardown and build procedures, as well as electronics. I see a bunch can be downloaded, but I would...

Does this combo maintain similar CR??

Are you able to discuss the piston specs or were they custom made for your build? Eager to see how this turns out!!!!

Maybe I missed it, but what is the recommended size wheels for the SF kit??

Tried searching and only found threads from 2022. Does anyone have a HUD, and if so, what brand and how was the install?? Thanks!!

Last night I had this issue come up.. First started out when I was backing out of my parking spot at work (hard 90deg reverse), car started binding and TC light came on.. I started driving and heard a couple loud clicks and then all of the lights and warnings came on. I manually disabled TC on...
