[QUOTE="Dan Long, post: 1013398, member: 65387"] Steve, I do remember Don doing that swap awhile back and would be curious to talk to him about it. The thread you just linked to is a very good and detailed one, and I actually saw it a couple of weeks back as I was researching the swap a bit again before pulling the trigger on the truck purchase. One question I would like to see answered is regarding the power brake booster... on the 5.0 Explorer, there is a sticker on the top of the booster that says "5.0L", which leads me to believe there is something specific about that booster and I'm curious to know what it is. Eddie, that would be great and I'd appreciate those shims, I'll send you an email. I believe the 1.6:1 rockers are what most Explorer guys normally use. The cam was Explorer specific and there are a few good torque grinds out there that have been proven to work well on a fairly stock GT40 5.0. Good info on the spacer, I may skip that... Chad, you are correct, and I don't think 300hp would be tough at all from this motor, and would be lots of fun. 350-400 would be even more so, lol. A set of Torque Monster headers are definitely on the list as well. Sucks that I had a brand new set for my last Explorer that I never installed, and had only paid about $450 for them but sold them after selling the truck. Prices now have gone up to around $800 on them. [/QUOTE]
