I vowed to never touch the engine compartment of a 4th gen F body again after changing the plugs on one. They put half the freaking engine under the dashboard .
Even better - to remove the engine from the vehicle, it comes out of the BOTTOM! The clearance for the headers is approximately 3/4 of an inch!
This will be REAL fun (NOT!)
I suspect there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth ( as well as scraped knuckles and dinged up elbows ) - but I really miss driving this monster.
Well, Brass Monkey, it is about 90% finished. I went ahead with a new timing chain, cam and had the cylinders honed. All new push rods and replaced all the freeze plugs. New water pump, oil pump and new optical distributor.
Soon we'll be stuffing it back up in the engine bay. Hope to have it road ready the first of next week. It was even harder than I ever dreamed ( or feared! ).
but the Z28's from 93 to about 98 are just my dream cars. The looks, the drivability... (sigh). It's like a beautiful woman with the curves.
If I had unlimited resources I would LOVE to have a new body Mustang! They look even better than the original, in my opinion. I had a '69 automatic Mustang and thought that it was the sharpest looking pony ever, until I saw the new ones a few years ago. It may be the best looking car Ford has made since the F40 racer in the '60's.
I laughed at you too soon . My wifes Explorer started acting up on her the other day. So I ran it up to a friends shop to put it on his OBDII reader, and I have an open circuit somewhere in the wiring harness that goes to the MAF sensor . Methinks I shall be spending much time later today digging around the 500 miles of wire in that harness with my multi meter in hand .
