1994 SN95 "Locust" Build Up

[ODiST]

1994 SN95 Code name "Locust"
This is my first post on this website so bare with me on this. Any suggested edits are much obliged.

Story:
My SN95 is my very first vehicle and I loved the body and everything about the car. Did simple mods and changes from when we first got the car. Like different rims, exhaust, spoiler, front bumper, etc. Let's get started, the list will be updated when changes happen.




Engine *Top end is stock*
Stock Ford Essex v6 engine block
Stock Heads
Stock intake manifold
Stock Cam
4.2 Ford F-150 Crank
Ebay 4.2L Piston Heads {CPW 4.2L V6 OHV TRITON Cu.256}
3.8 1999-2004 Piston Rods

***Important note; 1994-1998 Piston rods will not join and bind correctly with 4.2 Heads. Must be the "new edge" 1999-2004 rods to connect to 4.2 heads due to simple weight distribution and sizes.***

You have a 3.8?... GET OUT

Lol jk welcome!

 

[ODiST]

Technically...technically.. 4.2 lol and thanks!

Nice!
Are you going to do a split port swap?

Also, the stock shorty headers are actually decent.



Groovy pants

Groovy pants

Pants? What pants? All I see is a red car...kinda weird though in some of the pictures there's a white dot and part of the car is missing...

The Locust I was expecting to see.

 

[ODiST]

Not to familiar with the term split port swap but will differently look into it! And me personally I want the long tube headers for a little bit more air flow along with a meaner sound. Also those pants where a high school stage and from the look of your ride you'd rock them as well :headbang:. Only gap for me with any project with this car is money so I'll invest my time in a job.

 

[ODiST]

I'll post more pictures m8, also I'm not to okay with personal reveals on the interwebs.

The plymouth prowler is such a unique car and I personally love the look of it! I just use Locust cause of the louvers on the car gives it a layer effect.

That's not a Prowler, it's a Lotus / Caterham Super 7 replica, people call them Locust usually, when they are build using Ford parts

Welcome aboard. We have a lot of V6 knowledge here.

The Split port swap is the upper components, heads and intakes. Usually good for about 40 horse or so from a single port setup.

Orange and I have both done the 4.2/3 swap. I will actually be doing it again here in a few months, albeit not a swap this time, just a do-over.

 

[ODiST]

Awesome, sorry for the mix up. They look kinda similar so I just assumed it was a Prowler.

 

[ODiST]

Would love it if you had some good recording equipment and made a detailed video on it. Would be awesome for a future project. Thanks for the info!

 

[g36 monkey]

There will be pictures, Idk about a video lol
