This can’t be good! At least it hasn’t rubbed all the way through. But I think it’s time to go back to “dumps” right AFTER I pass smog ;-)

He’s got the full mm grip box under that thing their torque arm pan hard bar and adjustable rear sway bar from what I can see .

...and I thought my coil overs, panhard bar with upper control arms was busy! Even then, the exhaust is tight.

Yup. What Musturd said!

Ah, It's gotta be the brackets for the sway bar and TA. I have the MM PHB as well, so it's definitely not that.

yea it’s the torque arm and sway bar . Torque arms have those brackets that go around the housing and ditch the upper control arms or one of them or whatever . Pretty neat concept

Thing must be a blast through the twisties . I didn’t know it had all those goodies outback

MGW shifter just arrived

When buying a complete car is the same if not cheaper than buying an engine. The explorer engine will go in the Mustang and the Mustang engine will go back in the explorer. If I get super bored and get a bonus, I'll turbo the explorer.

Aluminum 2v. It is what I put in my 03 GT as well. The 2002-2005 V8 Explorers were all aluminum 2 valves. Minor differences like the oil pan and timing cover.

That's a Bingo.

Ditch them plastic chain tensioners on the exploder engine in favor for cast iron one. Im surprise the exploder engine hasnt grenaded itsself yet. Them plastic tensioners give up early. Must be low miles

Sure am. I was dumbfounded when I took the timing cover off my last explorer motor and saw plastic ones. Insane.
This guy has 270,000 miles, lol.

Took 86lbs of my 03. For the Bullitt, trying to offset the Kenne Bell that will be going on. The coilovers and k member already knocked a good amount off.

Battery relocated to the trunk helps a bunch! Opens up a little bit of working room under the hood too.....but you already know that.
