Ford Performance lists the 7.3 at 580 without water pump, ac, alternator, starter, and the 5.2 sc at 536 with water pump, ac, alternator, starter.
However, you have to add in the front mount heat exchange for the air-to-water intercooler on the 5.2. That's gonna add weight: the heat exchanger...
Battery duty cycles on cars is nothing like your phone or other personal devices, unless you're the first gen Nissan Leaf, or Tesla. Pretty much every ev manufacturer reduces the actual usable capacity on car batteries. The first gen GM Volt would never let you hit a state of discharge less...
It's a popular prerunner/race support vehicle for many race teams and folks who like to move quickly in the desert (and no the desert does not equal friggin' sand dunes). Go down to Baja, you'll appreciate wheel travel more.
The stock valving for desert whoops is a little light imo but any...
15 years ago, 37's were the typical tire size for Trophy Trucks....you know 24" of travel up front, 36" in the rear, 800 hp going through a Chevy 3 speed auto (imagine the power it's putting down at the wheels lol). Guess what tire size trophy trucks are running now.....40's. Why? Makes those...
Have you seen what trophy trucks have to run to make use of 800 hp at the crank, sent through a 3 speed auto (lol), then to the ring/pinion and finally to 40" tires...while weighing about the same as a TRX?
Granted TRX is coming with full floating hubs (which is crazy for a half ton, but...
Great movie. I guess proper wheel torque setting is to swing the hammer as hard as possible :D
Seeing COBRA on the backs of Shelby's pit crew at Le Mans....to now watching them slap a supercharger and their sticker on a Ford, guess you can't stay young forever :/
I prefer Marriott Rewards (even with the recent IT snafu), relatively easy to make Platinum with credit cards and setting up a hotel meetings, although that might not be an issue if you're on the road for more than 50 nights. Hyatt Globalists have been fairly happy with elite recognition...
Hopefully this makes it to the US with the 9" style rear end!
At 67.3" track width, presumably on 33's, Ranger Raptor is 1.5" wider than the ZR2, should get slightly more wheel travel. Based on the Aussie Ranger specs, Ranger Raptor would be 6" wider, 3" over each side....should be good for...
$400 for both transmission and bell housing.
$360 for transmission, $80 for bell housing if separated.
Transmission's out of a 86 Thunderbird and I believe is a world class version.
Located in San Diego.
I have a set of never used FRPP/Ground Force lowering shackle that came with my Ford Racing lowering kit. I ended up not needing the shackles as my current shackles had the same eye-to-eye length, 7.5"
Everything you see here plus instruction manual and the second bolt sleeve will be...
I'm stumped here. I've replaced my fuel filter, I replaced the hi/low fuel pump relay. The weather was 55F out, my tune is stock (I had a Ford dealership check to make sure it was). My pulley's are stock. My intake and exhaust are stock. Everytime I get past 4K RPM in 3rd gear, there's...
This happened around sometime in April/May in 2007...the last weekend of hard rain before summer. It had just started raining quite a bit right before I got on the 110 South from Pasadena. The 110 stretch from Pasadena to LA is 4 lanes wide (2 northbound, 2 southbound), no shoulders on both...
something about 46g's for a Cobra R with less than 500 miles is appealing.....

Anyone familiar with the Kugel V8 conversion kit? For 5g's, you get all necessary hardware bolt-on parts minus engine, tranny, and rear end. Since a 5.0 would be a pain in the ass to pass smog in CA, how much different are the mounts on the 4.6 from that of a 5.0?
and yes, I did say a Ford...
