What is so stupid about the thermactor? It is a very simple and effective way of dealing with HC and CO emissions, often without the need of a catalitic converter. If you have spent any time around vehicle you realize they run a little better if they are a hair rich. This puts a very hot fuel rich c...

OR if you have a truck originally equipped with a 7.5" axle and you upgrade to an 8.8" then you have a need to reprogram the GEM module. AD Are you sure about this? Every ford truck I have ever checked has 108 teeth on the carrier. The computer doesn't know ring size, only counts the teet...

The motorsports driveshaft for the fox mustang shows the same part for AOD and C4 (and others as well). From what I remember they made the AOD the same length as the C4 so stuff would interchange, a standardized transmission length. Later when the AODE came out, they had to stretch it 22mm to take t...

How hard is it? depends on how clean you want it to be. Since you are looking at a mudding truck, a super clean factory install probably isn't what you want. Sounds like you want a quick and easy dirty play toy. use a 302, they are smaller and fit better. Use a 4WD automatic that came out of a full ...

cars were always SEFI only Trucks started as batch fire only. Until the end of the small block in the mid 90's when they finally switched to SEFI With that, I have never had a truck distributor to take apart and look at the windows. But I bet a trip to the local parts yard will tell you. The wheels ...

94-95 remote tfi?might do Those don't fit that well. They are a little shorter then the standard distributer. That shorter fit causes interference issues. Been there, did that.

Being aftermarket, there is no standard aftermarket distributer. Depending on which one you are looking at they can range from nothing more then hooking up 12V to the right wire and going from there (GM HEI style) to won't run without a special computer to match. Generally the EFI and carb distribut...

Deck height will have no affect on installing the engine. I think they only changed it .006" or something like that. It is the 351 that is an inch and a half taller that will cause issues. Yes the block will work. The bolt ons may still give you issues. I think it still has the shoprter accesso...
