Hello, new guy here. Came looking for help and info on a new project I just got a hold of. While out cutting wood one day at one of my dads friends-friends house, we were in his pole-barn and I spotted a motor in the corner with a pretty looking little blower bolted on top. I walked over, looked at it, talked about it, and long story short, I'm the proud owner of a 4.0 liter OHV supercharged. It's not a SOHC, but an OHV. One of the paper tags on it, dated June 6th, 1996, says "Owner: FoMoCo". I'm probably going to tear it apart and check everything out, but I think I have an experimental/mule engine on my hands here. I have yet to decide what specific truck it's going in, (definitly manual trans and 4x4) but I'm looking. I'm probably going to me mostly asking about tuning and such here. I work as a tech at a Ford dealer, so the nuts and bolts part will be easy for me. So I thought I'd warn you guys, I'm going to drag myself through a pit of despair on this one, and I'm going to put all of it here.
