yeah ive got a D60.

as for an update,,, took the engine down there stripped it the rest of the way, but we decided to wait until the ranger is there to move further, we want to test fit it in there before rebuilding the engine. make all the mounts and stuff then once its all clean and nice just set it back in there and wire it up.

not planned to happen till July or August.

Some new parts for the build. Scored this off Ebay for 60 bucks.

shorter Aviator 4.6L intake, will save me a bunch of hood space.

wouldnt using the adapters just make you regain the space you saved (height wise)?? or is the 4.6 intake alot smaller?
