    Anybody have experience with Mabbco engines?

    this is all good news to me! i have a f150 302 block thats in great condition, thinking of rebuilding it. but a few weeks ago i ran across this same company, and i was like there is no way they can do the same short block work for half of a reputable company. i did research for like 10 minutes...

    opinions on what ecu to run with 4.0

    that was a total wash any ways. ive seen and heard this engine run before. i was there when it got parked, which is why i wanted it. in cylinder number 1 there is a line so deep, you can put a cloth towel over you finger and still feel it. as well i noticed that the 94 pickup has 3 large plugs...

    opinions on what ecu to run with 4.0

    lmao, i didnt even realize i said obd 1 / obd 2, i totally meant oxygen sensors. my thought to were that if it worked in the donor, it should work in this pickup, and its simple enough to swap. i wasnt sure if i might run into issues, but im pretty sure that wasnt a thing until pats came into...

    What might be causing coil packs to go bad?

    Took the engine out for a rebuild. First try it started right up, shut it off and couldn’t get it to start. Confirmed fuel, then switched out the coil pack for a confirmed working used one. then I got one start, shut it off and it wouldn’t start. Checked the ohms on both coil packs. The...

    repairing recovery/tow strap

    the strap is 5 years old, it just ripped the looped end off for some reason, really clean tear to as well, not many stringers. the strap on amazon is like 25$ now days, not a whole lot. ill honestly probably never use it again untill my kinetic strap breaks.

    cutting heater box

    got a wild hair in me and decided to reshape the box to resemble a non a/c box, its slim with a direct air channel, felt abunch of air escaping around the edge of the blower motor, as there was no seal there, sealed up that as well as added new seal around the entire box. i can at least now feel...

    cutting heater box

    the air worked fantastic until i did the sohc 4.0 swap, and had to modify the box. after that i get alot of fan noise, but not much air. i can barely feel it on my hands. you can feel it switch between foot/vent/defrost. going down the highway at 45 it will cook you out, even if you turn it off...

    what is the general consensus on cylinder pressures?

    idk about those models, but i know on the wj that the front core support is removable fairly easy. if you just get a motor the swap should be fairly simple.
