So say I were to pull a 2wd AODE 4r70w out of a 2wd of appropriate year car, and used trans harness and sensors from explorer AODE 4r70w?? SOunds like a good idea to me or is it to good to be true?

Finally got everything Purchased to put the engine all back together!! eexcept the TM headers. Those are next.. unfortunenately.

then trans and i still need an 8.8 lol
the 7.5 is slowly dieing with these 35"s and man trans

I'd stay with 99 or newer, the best years for the 4R70W. That leaves you with the 99~01 4R70W from a 5.0 Explorer since it is the only one of those years with a 5.0 bell housing pattern..

lol haha figures. yea i was reading that there where better years than others

just bought the OTC 6470 Cam tool.

This is really coming together. Great work!

Are you running a cam or anything? what else is going to be done to the motor
performance wise?

FRPP B-cam
1.6 Aluminum Roller Rockers
Ported and Polished Heads
1" Intake Spacer
TM Headers

i cant wait to see this thing gunna be workin on anything while im down next 2 weeks? lol

Sounds just like the motor i have sitting in my garage right now waiting to go in!

Getting closer each day. I got the starter harness and fan coming in today! hopefully only a few more weeks and motor will be fully rebuilt!

why 1.6 and not 1.7 after the work you did? just curious

still works better from what i was told

Finally! got the last pieces. Alternator /starter harness and fan

If you don't mind me asking what did those headers cost you? I'm looking a swap later on because I have ruled out rebuilding the 3.slow (I mean 3.0 of course, L.O.L). The reason is because it costs too much for the parts needed to build it the way it needs to be built.

See quote:

Sick, those headers are so crazy looking. You planning on running cats on it?


You gonna sell your old trans and everything after you get the 302 in? Maybe I'll do a 5 speed swap if I have the money to buy your stuff

no cats. dont need to and if that ever changes ill put them in then. I cant way. thing is gonna screeaammm!!!!

I have absolutely no plans yet for the 3.0 and tranny. im basically going to have my entire drivetrain laying around.

awesome deal, I wish I would have seen that. But I guess I got a tube bender instead for now.

Haha right. If I had one I would too. I am goin to attempt to make my own exhaust tho . Maybe well se how much the hassle weighs out vs price to have It done. Now that it's Christmas and I got all m. Presents I am going to start rebuilding he engine and takin trips to the junk yard and gry then trans and rear end. I can't freaking wait I'm sooo sick and tired of flooring it and going nowhere

Oh ok I must've missed that post somehow. Yep there it was. I have an old cpu here and it tends to miss things from time to time. The browser I use doesn't even have support for it now. That aint too bad for those headers at all.

Very nice dude... mine sit nicely in my motor.. if you are body lifted, you are gonna have one hell of a time clearing that bolt for the steering shaft and the header... They hit mildly when turning hard corners when the motor shifts a tad.

ya i read that in your thread. did you chagne bolts?? if so what sizes did u go with ?

back to work on the motor. Need to start putting the heads back together installing the new trick flow spring ugrade kit. Tommorrow Gonna take my autozone giftcard for chirstmas and get all the sealants etc needed to start crankin on this thing.
