It's not DD material without some work, it's a rescue, but a miracle rescue. It need wiring and an engine and tranny rebuild. When I say minus interior, I mean EVERYTHING.
I think I'm gonna have to swing out to BR when I get in from offshore. I gotta go to Thunder Racing to pick up my new exhaust anyway!

yup, but amazingly, no rust or anything. Only has 19k miles on it too. I found the originaly owner and everything.
It's actually not a bad rebuild if someone had a totalled 01+ GT, probably take a week for a regular person to swap everything over.
I was gonna at least do that, but the 6er and gf has sucked up all the extras lol

Still wont break 600 with the F1, was taking too much power to turn an F1. Its been tried. The guy switched to a turbonetics y2k 80 and is now making 660rwhp no problems.

Welp, it's settled. I'm taking out that POS inefficient 4v cobra motor and getting me a 3.8L so I can make 600 hp with my ported eaton. Hell, it's ported, I should be able to make 650 then.  |

Lol... Yeah I'm not sure how that works honesty. I know guys take off the eatons on the cobras and go with prochargers all the time.

Uh..."All the time"? Not so sure about that one. An "all the time" statement would be whipples, kenne bells, and turbos. But prochargers? Not so much. I know there was one kit that couldn't keep belts on the car once upon a time and it was basically just one bit pile o turd. And I think in all my time on SVTP, I think I have only see 1 03/04 cobra with a procharger on it.
Maybe it's a texas thing...and maybe I need to get my car on that dyno that put down 600 on that v6 with the eaton. I would like to get my 650-700 dyno sheet on my current setup.  |

I've seen a few actually..
Saw an 03 with a vortech about 2 weeks ago in houston that surprised me. But the guy who is making 600 out of the eaton isn't from TX i think MN one of the guys who came up with the m112 kit on the v6.
The way to HP is turbo! Or you could try crazy and do the kb v6... Haven't seen it yet.

That's pretty sad if a F150 lowered a couple inches has diff failure and my Ranger dropped 4/5 with a 7.5 has no issues.
True, the Bronco could have hurt the first one offroad and let it fail years later. The second one failed all on it's own, street driven.
There's still a gaggle of other trucks that are dead stock that have rear ends about ready to lock up. I know it's a common problem on the newer Explorers.

Whats the idea behind the KB v6? I take it a modded mani would be require to fit it? I cant seem to find the M112, maybe Im blind lol. Ive found several M90's including one on ebay for $182 on ebay no reserve complete kit. I really like the idea of a roots or twin screw type supercharger to keep the old school look under the hood, even if it is a V6. I do appologize as I confused the centrifugal with the roots type erlier in the post.

i have a stock m112 on the shelf
the procharger doesent take any more power ro turn than the eaton...in fact i think the eaton has a worse gear reduction. i can see what you mean by going turbo.prochargers are dyno proven to produce 70% hp gain at 15psi
rob> there are actually a good number of people going from eaton to procharger for the efficiency.. thats what i orginially built my motor for.
as far as the theory that the eaton makes more on a v6 because it has to boost less cyinders, a very wise man brought up something to me yesterday.cyinders are what makes power, missing two is also hurting the power and you have to make the power loss up with boost in the other 6... but if this theory were true..a 2cyl with an eaton m112 would be plain SICK!!!! 
rearends: yes a ranger and an f150 are diffwerent vehicles, some do and some dont but its because of the reason stated earlier about putting the pinion in a bind.we build at least (3) 8.8s a week and have no complaints.if the bronco mis lifted, same issue with the pinion.

i always knew i could count on this site for great laughs. LOL. thanks. so on my next car i need to get the most inefficent blower (roots type) on an engine that blows head gaskets in stock form, put about 30 psi on it with pump gas, and i should make 1000hp, that is streetable. oh and i need a 9in behind a v6 because a 8.8 won't hold up. LOL. do the world a favor and get your nuts clipped before you spread your genes around. god forbid we have a world full of people that think as backwards as you do. but i do appreciate the good laugh.

Id hate to have to wait for boost just to see any power gains. Turbos are deff the most efficient way to make power but only in high rpm/speed applications unless your using a small turbo for quick spool. Even the tona with a Garrett T03 didnt really pick up till 3200rpms in THIRD. Personally I want to use the mustangs quick launch to my advantage and power off the line to discourage high speed runs. I wouldnt mind a centrifugal but I just cant get past the fact that I personally think their just plain ugly under the hood. At that point Id rather turbocharge it and deal with all the lag. Is their a twin screw kit for the 3.8?

you can get the boost earlier by running a smaller exhaust housing or routting the bov into the turbo intake and itll have instant boost in every gear except the bottom of 1st (where you dont need it)
