Here we go, this is way above my level, but I am going to give it a go. Here is the plan:
94 roller 351
Gt40 heads
Lightning lower intake
Explorer upper intake
Explorer ecu
Coil set up

That's the very basics I know there is a lot to it. I have been following a couple of builds on classic broncos and I am copying them. Wish me luck. Here is a pic of my new old 351 that I just bought.

Woohoo!

Still searching for the "LIKE" button

Following with much interest

I'll be watching. Good luck, sounds like a great set up! I've got everything ready for a 351, just need time & money for a rebuild.

Didn't do quite the swap you are planning, but if you've got any questions, I just went through this. Good luck. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Cool!

Since you're in Thornton, feel free to drop by if you need to measure anything or check clearances before installing. I have a '94 351W roller as well.

I'm at 128th and Quebec.

Awesome!

Definitely following this one. Your engine setup is exactly what I want to go to at some point. Unless Kirk finds a magic way to quiet down his 4bt, then I want that.

Digger I am also at 128 and Quebec. I am surprised I have never run into you.

This will be a slow process, but I will keep this thread up to date.

Hey i drive right by 128th n quebec a lot.

I have been reading about the explorer cam sensor. What is the advantage of using the coils. Can I use a 96 or new distributor with obd2 with an explorer ecu? If you can it seems easier rather then getting a collar fabricated for the cam sensor and figuring out how to hold the thing down. I am going to the junkyard soon so I want to figure out exactly what to pull.

There is no way to run a distributor and have the PCM control it with the Explorer PCM. The coil pack setup is a hotter spark, more reliable, and more accurate than a typical distributor. The only downside is the need to fabricate the collar for a 351.

I do have some detailed blue prints to make one, which can probably just be done on any lathe. I was quoted $100 each to have them made unless I purchased a bunch of them. A few guys have had them made for around $75. Recent discussions lead me to believe that someone else may start selling them on CB in the $50 range. So, they may even hit production before your engine is done.

That answers that question. When I go to the yard I will get the coil setup. Thanks

I would hold off on purchasing coil packs for now as well. I may have a better solution than the Explorer coil packs, but I want to get some more testing miles on them before I give anyone the green light to run them. I would try to find the 3.8 cam sensor while you're there though.

I will look for one. Thanks

Just bought a gt40 lower from a lightning off of ebay. These are getting hard to find.

Nice. I stashed one away a couple years ago.

I would be in let me know

I want 2 for myself as well. So I'll check to see if the original designer ever decided to have a batch ran off or not. If not, let's see what your guy says. I can get them for a decent price, but only if I buy 50 of em.

+4 for me.

Maybe he could make the tall hold-down clamp too ?

I'd be in for one as well.

ok i just need the detailed schematics and i can run them over during lunch one day.

I can also ask Mike (777mech) he has that spiffy new mill he's playing with.

Heads up. I have a couple being cranked out now. If they pass the muster for EFI GUY were in like flynn for cheap!
