The 88400's worked!!! Finally!!! After 3 different sets of headers!!! I did have to notch the passenger side frame real a bit but I just DID NOT want to use those horrible exhaust manifolds that came with the X.

I also gained some clearance for my electric fan by cutting the threads off my water pump.
So since my header worked I was able to put everything back under the hood. I pretty much got everything back together. I got to top off the trans fluid and oil. Oil pan with the relocater holds 6 quarts of oil! Got my brakes all hooked up just gotta bleed those. Also picked up the 99 5.0 Explorer radiator hose for the bottom.
One thing I got to do is bypass that clutch safety switch so my engine will start using the key! I swapped relays and everything until it final dawned on me! This was a manual shift truck! It has a clutch switch! I'd like to jumper it for the time being until I can go to the junkyard and pull the bypass switch from an automatic.
Picked up a 1400cfm 16" electric fan from the Zone tonight so I'll get that installed tomorrow!
Tomorrow!!! She should be rolling the tires over!! Here she is in her present state!
