Malykaii Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I guess I really don't have any idea how wide ford modular motors are in relation to the quest. Good point sir. An ls1 tranny alone can cost more than my turbo swap in my montero. Regarding doubling your budget... agree. hence when he did double his budget from 1k to 2k, I still think 5.0 would be best.

clow340 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) try for a newer explorer or mountaineer engine under 170k, like a 96+, they dont have forged pistons like the mustang HO but they make pretty close to the same power and have the same cam, but they ABSOLUTELY NEED some kind of header or different exhaust manifold. also its OB2!! you can throw a tuner or chip at it later. as an example, heres your engine... http://battlecreek.c...4229696096.html take what you need and scrap the rest for 400 or so, and theres your t5 trans. or this one http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/cto/4238856835.html Edited January 16, 2014 by clow340 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
