Bummer on the Coyote swap, but nice having a house though I bet. The shop on the house looks pretty cool also! Hate it when real life gets in the way of hot rod projects :).

Those SVE wheels are really cool looking, I like the looks of them.

Welcome back! Glad to see you’ve got your own shop and house to work in now. The new wheels are going to look great

Been busy... crazy busy with work and now I'm also trying to build a detached garage. Fun Fun Fun!

Second engine wasn't the best. It was bored 60 over, not desirable - also the crank was not in great shape. Not blaming seller, but disappointed in the quality of the reman. So taking the good parts off that engine and going back to the first engine.

Good news was that it had a more aggressive cam than what the seller told me it had :)

I've received pretty much every part I need. I've been busy cleaning everything up - smoothing/mild porting the intake and heads.

I'm using the trickflow SN95 elbow. Anyone wondering on fitment on the explorer intake, i did need to do a few modification. I'd like to give trickflow the benefit of the doubt on fitment for their application, but this also isn't an uncommon setup...

First, the finish inside the elbow wasn't ideal. For a "made in USA" product, it seemed more china made looking. So I smoothed that out.

Second, the hardware included was only studs for the throttle body side. I had to pull the studs from my old intake and install them on the new one. When I put the elbow on there was no was a nut was going to fit on the top left... so I had to grind a good chunk off. I'm assuming trickflow has special hardware included on their intake? I don't know there was done of material there, no need to have it so tight.
The bottom right stud is also a bit too long - it doesn't interfere, but this nut will need to go on first.

Installed Canton windage tray with Ford performance oil pan. The windage tray took more modification to make work than I would have liked for the price point, but it worked well.

Using explorer intake - i like the look at its the best value. One of the best ford made intakes and close to even the aftermarket performance at junk yard prices.

I'm also building a new detached garage now. The concrete just got poured, so I'll be starting construction soon. Thinking I'll finish the garage before the car.
