have; 94 ranger with 4cyl. A 66' 289 with great rotating assembly with flat top with double valve relief pistons, gt40p assembled heads that came right off an explorer, Cam and Lifters, Hydraulic Flat Tappet, Advertised Duration 280/289, Lift .449/.473, the stock explorer exhaust manifolds, and will get the next couple things for conversion components. Motor is halfway done and 4cyl is still in the ranger.
Questions: 1 is explorer motor a roller lifters motor and I have to convert 289 or can I just use my hydraulic lifters and the gt40p stock rockers? BTW, the explorer pushrods look to work perfectly in 289 with explorer heads on it.
2 is what I have ok with a 100 hp shot of wet nitrous "on occasion"? My pistons are cast seal power decent set (not forged), stock hipo I beam rods.
