I was thinking about that. A wide ratio T56 with 3.27s would work fine, but to really take advantage of the 6th gear, I'd keep a 3.73:1 RE and get the even more expensive close ratio T56. This setup would give me a normal range of final ratios from 1-5 similar to a T5 with 3.27s, then an additional ...

I see what you mean. I agree, the bolt-on kind is better than the spin-on style. I can see how the spin-on kind may not line the hoses up right and thus you have to route the hoses in a less-than-desirable fashion. To get a neater installation, I may break down and get that piece. However, I like yo...

MAF computers aren't created equal. Why?
Through email, Dave and I were discussing why the Explorer V8s are down on power despite the good heads and intake. Dave seemed to believe this was because of crappy exhaust manifolds (and I fully agree) and a "lame" computer. I also suspect the cam has a lot to do with this as well. Howev...

blk, I didn't know that. However it makes a lot of sense and seems like it would simplify things. Is it just me or are there very few V8 conversions on extended cab Rangers? I can't recall a picture yet of a V8 converted Supercab. Other than weight distribution issues, is there any reason why that i...

What are the T56 issues during V8 Conversion?
Dave and I were throwing questions back and forth (more me asking and him answering) via email however I wanted to get some feedback from others that may have some experience. What I'm comparing is either a T5 or T56. The T5 appears simpler to me just because I know (from Malcolm's site) which bell ...

I paid the extra dollar for the 2-ton stand not to mention it was onsale in the Harbor Freight store for just a few dollars higher than the 750lb stands. However I found out why the engine is sagging...yet again, I feel like an idiot. To give you the mental picture, I'm probably going to tell you wh...

That's sortof what I suspected. It does look thick through the center, and I do plan on using aftermarket mounts to get the engine as low as possible. Currently, it's such a pain to get the top 2 bolts of my 5-speed tranny. That's mainly because the tranny is also the bellhousing so you are trying t...
