FYI for anyone building an engine cross member for an RBV that plans to run a SOHC 4.0 pan in the future...but wants to continue running their current OHV pan in the meantime....Just because you cleared the SOHC pan does NOT mean it will clear the OHV pan.
I found this out the hard way last night when I tried to put my motor back in...the OHV pan's sump is a bit further forward so it does not clear my cross member......so my new motor is going together sooner than originally planned...
I did get the headers on. Remflex gaskets, Stage 8, JBA 3/8 flanges with the raised ring around the port.....these MFers better not leak...
My last minute decision to push the motor back .75" may have screwed me over for putting EGR back on for the time being.
So…my 95TM short block is now up for grabs.
No accessories, heads, lifters, or push rods included
Has 180K on it, no smoke, no knocks, 3k oil changes with Valvoline or Motorcraft 10W-30
Does come with Comp Cams 422 camshaft (.333 lobe lift, .500 valve lift) and timing set with under 30K
Ran like a champ, planned to keep running it until it puked, but plans changed….
Looking for $250 or trade for something I can use.
I could potentially include heads for the right offer…which would need to be enough to cover most of the cost of replacements….
