Too much red. But at least theres a 5.0 under the hood. Clean it up and make it what you want it to be.

I found a explorer in a junk yard with the seats and consol, seats bolted to stock brackets and my dad and I made the brackets for the consol rather easy, after all, thanks.

If that truck was blue inside and out I would probably try and steal it lol jk. If I wasn't worried about fuel millage I would drop a 5.0 in place of my 3.0. That could be a REALLY nice truck with some work. Whats up with the tach sitting on the floor? Does the one is your instrument cluster not work or what?

Sweet truck! How did you get that motor to fit so well? I'm asking cause you look like you have gobbs of room in the engine compartment. It always looked tighter on other trucks to me. If that much room is normal I may reconsider the v8 swap. Or is it because it is a 2wd?
