bigkid341:What's up catfish, I'm from Ohio and have a 02 e150 that has taken us many miles as well... Also have 83 t-bird, and 95 f150. Lots of ford parts lying around.
Ohio! I've got a few vanner friends in O-hi-o. I hang out at Vannin.com a lot and the Ohio woods are full of vans! My '88 has been to quite a few van runs over the years. I've upgraded the charging system, swapped the alternator/air pump mount for a '96 model that had a 351in order to run a 160 amp 3G alternator and the better idler pulley arrangement. I needed the alternator because I'm running a radiator from a 460 with twin Taurus cooling fans behind it and a 14" pusher up in front for the A/C condenser. Helps out during the Georgia summer. One Taurus fan is on a engine temp sensor and the other is on a Flex-a-lite variable speed control. The pusher fan keys in via a pressure switch on the A/C high side.
Plans are for an E4OD to replace the C6. I've already got an E4OD that needs rebuilt and I got an ECM from a '94 E250 that should run it and the EFI. Thought about changing to MAF but, since I'm not changing the engine that much, I think I'll wait till after the trans swap and see. I have to work under a budget since I was born smart and so darn good looking instead of rich. ha
I'm just a old vanner
