i got this today from my dads work, it needs some work but it ran when it was taken out. some day it will be in my truck with a C4 behind it

ok well its in the bed.. but yeah.

 

Awesome, are you going to mod it, or keep it stock?

Nice shoes btw

 

Im with winks!?

 

heh i just noticed my shoes are in that pic.
im going to build it up, cams valve springs etc etc..

 

If you're going to do an engine swap why not a 5.0? Unless you got this for a steal. I have a 4.0 and want a 5.0 baaaaaad

 

it shold be a big improvement over the 2.3 wheather u leave the 4.0 stock or not. good luck

 

yup

 

wait im not useing a C4. no over drive..
im just going to get a bell housing for my m5od.

 

Just a suggestion look into a 8.8 axle swap. It would be pretty easy to snap the 7.5 with a stock 4.0 sohc. My friend in his 01 3.8v6 stang had a 7.5 with 3.73 gears and it was stock besides gears and he snapped it revving to high and droping the clutch.

 

Sweet, You'll like the 4.0 much better!

 

schweet. call me if you need any help.

 

7.5 and 8.8 are pretty much the same axle... on difference is the ring size and carrier size.. axles interchange between the 2

 

cool, sounds good.

 

Awesome, have fun with the 4.w0ah

 

very cool... have fun with the buildup and swap

 

lol yeah, im going to leave it in my bed till tomarrow.
i have some plastic over it for now.

 

is it supposed to rain tonight?

 

nope, but its going to on Sat.

 

Talk to member fuze, he installed a 4.0 SOHC from my old 2001 XLT in his 97 2.3L
