That manifold looks awesome. Was it a PITA to get the injectors out of the rails? I'm probably going to change mine. Also what fuel rails are you going to use? Looking good!

That's a big list. When are you starting this? Is GTR doing it?

Why V6 rear bumper?

GT has cut outs for rear pipes and mine dumps after the mufflers so the V6 will clean it up.
Also the 2000 Cobra R came with the v6 bumper rather then the GT.

I'm going to have GTR do whatever I don't feel confident doing my self like installing the intake and fuel rails. But I'm sure I can tackle most of it. I'm going to start collecting parts now but everything should be finished early next year. I also thinking about getting ported heads from MMR but not sure if i want that or Trick flow heads.

So my next mod is going to be a V8 for the Explorer. I already have a '97 AWD V8 Explorer thanks to Eric. I'm going to rebuild the 302 and then move everything over to mine except the transfercase. For the transfercase I'll get a manual one from an F150. I already started pulling the engine and trans from the donor but because everything on it is so rusted it's taking forever. It took me 6 hours to remove the driveshafts, exhaust and starter. On my truck that would have only taken 45 minutes to an hour.
