    Had flywheel turned, and installed new pilot bearing



    Artsy fartsy




    Installed new clutch






    While I was waiting on trans baffle, I started under the hood.

    So far, have gotten only the driver's side headers and valve covers completed. Needed rocker arm gaskets BAD.


    It ran rough, so I decided to replace the catalytic converters while I was at it. But....

    So why not new headers to make it easier to install, plus have completely new exhaust all the way back

    Some 4.0's have egr valve, mine doesn't. Had extension cut off and welded, also had to plug O2 sensor in left side of y-pipe (mine is on right side)






    The Ford shop manuals were invaluable to me here. So much to remove, and this is the easy side!




    Cleaned this up too.




    Old Ford Blue

    Of course I had to polish the bolts too.





    That's about where I am now. Life, weather, keeping me from getting further.
    Lots more ahead tho















    Need to update this
