So I bought this car a few months ago and it was already torn apart by the owner before the owner I bought it off of. Needless to say that it was missing a few things.The kinda of build I am going for is just a very mild fun to drive every day if I have to car if I have to. It has a stock rebuilt t5 with a ram clutch kit. Stock rear end with stock gears(for now). The engine need a total rebuild. Someone had ripped it all apart cleaned a few things and put new gaskets and paint on it. It looked good but I would have never trusted it. Huge grind marks in the head gasket surface and intake/exhaust ports were the same. Looks like someone tried to clean the with a grinder as well as the piston tops. So now the engine I built is 306 with gt40p heads alex valve springs for a tfs1 cam, 3 angle valve job new guides and seals. Port matched exhaust and intake. Explorer upper and lower intake 70mm throttle body and egr spacer ported intake to 70mm. Under drive pullies with a/c and smog delete. 3g alternator 16" electric fan. Tapped thermostat housing for fan switch.
I hope it runs ok. I would like to hear from people with simular builds.
