Year:1997
Mileage:157000
Location:
Topeka, Kansas, United States
|
You are bidding on a project I started with good intentions three years ago. Started as a 4.0 soch 4wd explorer. Instead of sticking a low mile 5.0 and trans/tranfer case I decided it needed a turbocharged 351 windsor. Has rebuilt 5.8 roller motor from 95 e350 van.Motor uses explorer 5.0 wiring harness along with modified cam sensor crank sensor and coil packs. Motor has been rebuilt and balanced with hypeurtectic pistons,moly top rings,arp wavloc rod bolts with rod beams polished,arp main cap bolts,ford motorsport e303 cam 1.72 ration intake scorpion roller rockers and stock 1.6 exhaust rockers, mildly ported e7 heads with polished and undercut stainless 1.85 intake and 1.54 valves with thermactor bumps removed and exhaust ports polished with matching springs for the e303 cam and arp head studs . Has gasket matched 5.8 efi lower intake with heavily modified upper. The
intake plenum was split on throttlebody side, plenum divider removed side tigged on and the twin inlet truck throttlebody flange removed and a cnc flange was made and tigged on for an explorer 5.0 single blade throttle body that has shaft milled and streamlined with counter sunk screws. Has external oil cooler with thermal bypass switch all -10an fittings/remote oil filter. Also have 2.5" y pipe home fabbed with v band flanges included and t4 flange on for the passenger mount turbocharger. has Mac shortie 1 5/8" headers flipped around. I have most of the turbo cold side done and tigged together along with custom radiator hoses of aluminum tube tigged and done with silicone hose ends and clamps. Has custom shroud with single electric fan not wired up but relay and thermal switch included. It has an braided hose almost everywhere with red and blue fittings.Transmission is rebuilt 4r70w with shift improver, hd shift servo,cryo treated intermediate sprag ,new 2500 stall converter and late model intermediate sprag upgrade. Also rebuilt awd matching transfer case. Has factory rear limited slip with 3.55 axle ratio. One in tank generic 255lph fuel pump and inline walbro 255 pump they have separate pick ups then y into single -8an to mallory boost reference regulator at fuel rail. Also was setting up for e85 so it has new 80 pound injectors installed as well(planned on about 14-15 psi boost). Also has msd fuel pump booster wired to the walbro 255 but needs usb cable to down load free software on the msd site. Also included is a new tweecer r/t programmer and DataQ analog to digital converter for an included innovate wideband controller and a gm style map sensor. I also have a cobra MAF sensor with it. Have a new ebay 102mm compressor/75mm turbine .84 a/r comp and .96 a/r turbine t4 water cooled turbocharger with heat blanket, 60mm v band waste gate, hks bov, and an electronic hks boost controller that I bought from a friend used but has all accessories and looks new. Installed some of the gauges by deleting the center ac vents. Had a nice stereo system but all that is still in is wiring and lanzat 6.5 mid and separate tweeter speakers with crossovers in doors. No head unit amps or crossovers.I will leave amp rack and the box with pyle square 10" sub that takes up right rear quarter panel. Stereo pic was before amps were removed. I never finished the trim to cover the amp/wiring was going to use 1/8" masonite covered with vinyl so that would be up to you. This truck does not have heat or a/c since it was to be a toy/ bracket racer. Also has front upper a arm mounts raised to help ball joint angle with the approx 3" suspension drop in front along with axle raised 3/4" to help cv angles too. Rear frame is notched for the approx 3" rear drop. All poly bushing and poly trans mount. Has engine torque limiter with rod ends and poly bushing at frame rail.Also oil cooler with remote filter and thermal bypass all with -10 an braided hose. Tires are cooper z rated all season tires size 275-40-18 with around 5,000 miles mounted on shelby gt500 18x9.5 rims. One side of trim/moulding of truck has been painted satin black and havent got other side done yet. Trying for a gt500 version of an explorer,was going to call it a gt700 kr and had vinyl striped for sides made and it has svt badge on rear gate above the on/off battery cuttoff switch in bumper that has been wired up. I have the hood with mach1 style fiberglass bolt on scoop. Bumper is included but not on because intercooler not on yet. This isnt a pro build by any stretch but will none the less be awesome for someone who is willing to purchase an intercooler(brackets are on, had intercooler but sold it),finish making ecu mount from ammo box that I started,brackets are done , finish exhaust past down pipe and finish plumbing and install upper intake and misl wiring. I could have the thing running in a couple months worth of tinkering on weekends and about 300-400 worth of parts,needs front driveshaft shortened because sohc 4.0 front shaft is longer than 5.0 awd shaft. Has 5.0 rear driveshaft that goes with it, also will need baseline tune from Tweecer($75) if you are not an experienced tuner . If you have some mechanical knowledge and very basic fab skills this would be a pretty easy finish. Unfortunately I am faced with a divorce and I have to get rid of it so my reserve is about 1/6 of what I have in this thing. Guess if you don't like explorers you could use it for parts and build a cool mustang and save thousands on parts. I'm sure this isn't all but their is too much to remember. I will try to answer any questions to the best of my knowledge . It will have clear title but I will need to make a payment to the bank with money from sale in order for them to release the title but this wont be a problem, my bank is very easy to work with. You will need to bring a trailer or arrange your own shipping. Thanks for looking. You heard about all the extra parts, I guess I should give some details of the truck itself. The seats and carpet are in above average condition with no tears in leather just some shiny spots on drivers seat from getting in and out as well as plastic trim for the switches on drivers seat keeps pulling off from plastic tab on back being broke. Dash needs the gauges I started installing finished being installed and the gauge cluster needs the pins swap to go from v6 to v8 for the tach to work.This was a well maintained explorer with clean paint and no major body damage just a scratch here and there and a scuff on plastic molding of front bumper that would not be noticable if you paint the bumper plastic satin black to match what I started doing with the rest of the painted trim. Roof rack was removed so the holes from it are just sealed with silicone but to me looks better than an ugly roof rack.The only rust is surface rust under rear portion of floor above rear axle and the front bumper braces in the outside corners of the front bumper. I did clean the braces and sprayed rust converter along with gloss black paint to help inhibit them from getting worse. When running all windows moved smoothly up and down and all switches worked and door handles all worked inside and out.Headliner has a couple small stains but is in good shape and not sagging or missing pieces. Door panels and all trim in great condition except where I cut to clear the speakerbox/amp rack. Has new brakes with slotted/drilled rotors front and rear.Has aftermarket HID headlight conversion low beam only and polished grill insert which has a scratch down the front that you notice if right up on it. Has four new shocks as well. A person could not build the motor itself for what I have my reserve at so even if someone bought it for parts you would be thousands ahead of buying all this stuff separately. Thanks again! |

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
Ford Focus ST diesel estate in track showdown with Focus ST hatch
Sun, Jan 18 2015Diesel hot hatches are still a concept that's gaining ground. Obviously, there are none for sale in the US, but European buyers have the choice of at least the Volkswagen Golf GTD and Ford Focus ST Diesel. What better way to find out how the new, high-performance oil-burner really stacks up than for Ford to stage a race against the gasoline-fueled Focus ST? On paper, the ST Diesel is at a big performance detriment here. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque compared to 247 hp and 266 lb-ft for the gas version in this race. However while not a factor for this race, the oil-burner does offer better fuel economy and produces less CO2, which makes a difference for European buyers. Ford skews the race results by giving the ST Diesel Estate a two-second head start for this one-lap battle around the Castle Combe Circuit. Also, this is a video from the Blue Oval, which is going to further minimize the appearance of weakness for its vehicles. Still, both STs really get to show off their strengths, and it's worth seeing how the sibling rivalry shakes out at the finish line.
Radical RXC is a Mustang-hearted racecar for the road
Fri, May 30 2014Radical has been building fantastic open-cockpit racers and roadcars for years, for the track day enthusiast who wants a vehicle that looks like it could show up for a start at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The company's latest creation is the RXC, and while this coupe looks like a prototype racer, it's road legal in the UK and in some parts of the US. When testing a car this, um, radical, the first thought is likely to get it to the track for some big slides and wide open acceleration, but XCar Films takes the opposite approach in its latest video to learn how this racer fares on public roads. The version tested here is the standard RXC with the 3.7-liter V6 out of the Ford Mustang tuned to 350 horsepower with a seven-speed sequential gearbox; but Radical also offers the same engine with 380-hp, a 454-hp Ford EcoBoost 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, or even a 500-hp V8. Even in the most basic guise, it's a handful to control in the wet, if this video is any indication. The cliche of a road-legal racecar is bandied around a lot in the motoring world, but it truly applies to the RXC. The only problem with seeing the RXC exclusively on the road is that it can never really open up and show its full potential. This racer is indeed chomping at the bit to rocket off into the horizon, but all those pesky road safety laws hold it back. Still, the video is a chance to get a better impression about this thoroughbred sports car. Scroll down to check it out. This content is hosted by a third party.
