1997 Ford Explorer Eddie Baer Awd Turbocharged 351w Project on 2040-cars
Topeka, Kansas, United States
|
You are bidding on a project I started with good intentions three years ago. Started as a 4.0 soch 4wd explorer. Instead of sticking a low mile 5.0 and trans/tranfer case I decided it needed a turbocharged 351 windsor. Has rebuilt 5.8 roller motor from 95 e350 van.Motor uses explorer 5.0 wiring harness along with modified cam sensor crank sensor and coil packs. Motor has been rebuilt and balanced with hypeurtectic pistons,moly top rings,arp wavloc rod bolts with rod beams polished,arp main cap bolts,ford motorsport e303 cam 1.72 ration intake scorpion roller rockers and stock 1.6 exhaust rockers, mildly ported e7 heads with polished and undercut stainless 1.85 intake and 1.54 valves with thermactor bumps removed and exhaust ports polished with matching springs for the e303 cam and arp head studs . Has gasket matched 5.8 efi lower intake with heavily modified upper. The
intake plenum was split on throttlebody side, plenum divider removed side tigged on and the twin inlet truck throttlebody flange removed and a cnc flange was made and tigged on for an explorer 5.0 single blade throttle body that has shaft milled and streamlined with counter sunk screws. Has external oil cooler with thermal bypass switch all -10an fittings/remote oil filter. Also have 2.5" y pipe home fabbed with v band flanges included and t4 flange on for the passenger mount turbocharger. has Mac shortie 1 5/8" headers flipped around. I have most of the turbo cold side done and tigged together along with custom radiator hoses of aluminum tube tigged and done with silicone hose ends and clamps. Has custom shroud with single electric fan not wired up but relay and thermal switch included. It has an braided hose almost everywhere with red and blue fittings.Transmission is rebuilt 4r70w with shift improver, hd shift servo,cryo treated intermediate sprag ,new 2500 stall converter and late model intermediate sprag upgrade. Also rebuilt awd matching transfer case. Has factory rear limited slip with 3.55 axle ratio. One in tank generic 255lph fuel pump and inline walbro 255 pump they have separate pick ups then y into single -8an to mallory boost reference regulator at fuel rail. Also was setting up for e85 so it has new 80 pound injectors installed as well(planned on about 14-15 psi boost). Also has msd fuel pump booster wired to the walbro 255 but needs usb cable to down load free software on the msd site. Also included is a new tweecer r/t programmer and DataQ analog to digital converter for an included innovate wideband controller and a gm style map sensor. I also have a cobra MAF sensor with it. Have a new ebay 102mm compressor/75mm turbine .84 a/r comp and .96 a/r turbine t4 water cooled turbocharger with heat blanket, 60mm v band waste gate, hks bov, and an electronic hks boost controller that I bought from a friend used but has all accessories and looks new. Installed some of the gauges by deleting the center ac vents. Had a nice stereo system but all that is still in is wiring and lanzat 6.5 mid and separate tweeter speakers with crossovers in doors. No head unit amps or crossovers.I will leave amp rack and the box with pyle square 10" sub that takes up right rear quarter panel. Stereo pic was before amps were removed. I never finished the trim to cover the amp/wiring was going to use 1/8" masonite covered with vinyl so that would be up to you. This truck does not have heat or a/c since it was to be a toy/ bracket racer. Also has front upper a arm mounts raised to help ball joint angle with the approx 3" suspension drop in front along with axle raised 3/4" to help cv angles too. Rear frame is notched for the approx 3" rear drop. All poly bushing and poly trans mount. Has engine torque limiter with rod ends and poly bushing at frame rail.Also oil cooler with remote filter and thermal bypass all with -10 an braided hose. Tires are cooper z rated all season tires size 275-40-18 with around 5,000 miles mounted on shelby gt500 18x9.5 rims. One side of trim/moulding of truck has been painted satin black and havent got other side done yet. Trying for a gt500 version of an explorer,was going to call it a gt700 kr and had vinyl striped for sides made and it has svt badge on rear gate above the on/off battery cuttoff switch in bumper that has been wired up. I have the hood with mach1 style fiberglass bolt on scoop. Bumper is included but not on because intercooler not on yet. This isnt a pro build by any stretch but will none the less be awesome for someone who is willing to purchase an intercooler(brackets are on, had intercooler but sold it),finish making ecu mount from ammo box that I started,brackets are done , finish exhaust past down pipe and finish plumbing and install upper intake and misl wiring. I could have the thing running in a couple months worth of tinkering on weekends and about 300-400 worth of parts,needs front driveshaft shortened because sohc 4.0 front shaft is longer than 5.0 awd shaft. Has 5.0 rear driveshaft that goes with it, also will need baseline tune from Tweecer($75) if you are not an experienced tuner . If you have some mechanical knowledge and very basic fab skills this would be a pretty easy finish. Unfortunately I am faced with a divorce and I have to get rid of it so my reserve is about 1/6 of what I have in this thing. Guess if you don't like explorers you could use it for parts and build a cool mustang and save thousands on parts. I'm sure this isn't all but their is too much to remember. I will try to answer any questions to the best of my knowledge . It will have clear title but I will need to make a payment to the bank with money from sale in order for them to release the title but this wont be a problem, my bank is very easy to work with. You will need to bring a trailer or arrange your own shipping. Thanks for looking. You heard about all the extra parts, I guess I should give some details of the truck itself. The seats and carpet are in above average condition with no tears in leather just some shiny spots on drivers seat from getting in and out as well as plastic trim for the switches on drivers seat keeps pulling off from plastic tab on back being broke. Dash needs the gauges I started installing finished being installed and the gauge cluster needs the pins swap to go from v6 to v8 for the tach to work.This was a well maintained explorer with clean paint and no major body damage just a scratch here and there and a scuff on plastic molding of front bumper that would not be noticable if you paint the bumper plastic satin black to match what I started doing with the rest of the painted trim. Roof rack was removed so the holes from it are just sealed with silicone but to me looks better than an ugly roof rack.The only rust is surface rust under rear portion of floor above rear axle and the front bumper braces in the outside corners of the front bumper. I did clean the braces and sprayed rust converter along with gloss black paint to help inhibit them from getting worse. When running all windows moved smoothly up and down and all switches worked and door handles all worked inside and out.Headliner has a couple small stains but is in good shape and not sagging or missing pieces. Door panels and all trim in great condition except where I cut to clear the speakerbox/amp rack. Has new brakes with slotted/drilled rotors front and rear.Has aftermarket HID headlight conversion low beam only and polished grill insert which has a scratch down the front that you notice if right up on it. Has four new shocks as well. A person could not build the motor itself for what I have my reserve at so even if someone bought it for parts you would be thousands ahead of buying all this stuff separately. Thanks again! |

Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.
Jim Farley to lead Ford of Europe

Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.
