I will probably send you a PM when I'm ready to do mine, just have to wait until spring, because doing that sort of thing in snow sucksss.

No doubt I was lucky enough to have a garage to use that the truck fit into.. but just let me know I can tell you everything you'll need and help with any issue you may run into, for example: it's very tough to find an inner tie tool that fits on our trucks so I found it easiest to use a pipe wrench lol

Passed by a local junk yard to see possible donors, got nothing out of it.

Called a few places.. Still ended up with nothing.

Seems every place has plenty of 02 & under F-150's and 04 & under expy's but nothing over.

Couldn't you use the short block from a Gen 1 Expy or F1/2/350

You know I don't think my expy was so bad on mpg's, I was averaging 9.7 on it and driving the G37 for a week yielded 12.8 with identical driving habits and idle time. Makes me appreciate the expy a little more now.


I know about this site but i never liked it to be honest, most of everything is over priced and seems shady to me but thank you for the effort none the less.

Car-part.com is fine depending on how you use it.

Find somewhere local that has the parts you want, drive over and haggle.

Great success!

I guess that's due to living in the city? I average about 16mpg with my EL.

Well it's really just a marketplace for junkyards to advertise. If you just use it to find who has what and then call the yard as if you had never seen the website, you'll often get a lower price. I found a wheel on there for my wife's car for $70 and then called the yard asking if they had one and how much. The $70 price for internet shoppers ended up being $45 when I was just some local guy looking for a part.

Got my black out eagle eye headlights ordered yesterday
And the black out tail lights.
And some switch back LED blinker bulbs.
And the electronic flasher relay.

And today I got my two 4x4 inch LED bright white pods in the mail..
Which kinda sucks BC now I'm thinking of using something else
