The van is stripped

[HondaRidin1991]

I hear ya there...at least u got the choke system workin....how bout a spring startup of that ol granada when u get the time?? i really like that car lol

[HondaRidin1991]

That efi system would be sweet on the 302 in the granada....just a thought

[bah53]

@HondaRidin1991 The engine I put in it was a 5.0L truck motor with efi but the intake is too tall to fit under the hood. I figured it would cost roughly the same to run carb vs efi but the carb was alot less work to hook up so I put it on.

[M3RVITIS]

what size engine?

[bah53]

@M3RVITIS 5.0L

[bergercw]

i take everything when i strip cars

[bergercw]

can u make a vid on how to take the ignition lock cylinder out its something i always wanted to know

[bah53]

@bergercw Well the van is already down at my uncles, but what you do to get them out is put the key in then look underneath the cylinder and you should see a hole. Theres a little pin inside that you have to push then you can just pull the key and the cylinder out. Thats how it is for these ford ones anyway.

[matts6887]

How come u had to end up stripping this van? was it destined for the trash heap anyways even before u yanked the engine outta it?

[bah53]

@matts6887 Yeah my dad got sick of looking at it and figured we would never end up fixing it so he gave it to my uncle and I got all the parts.

I see that it appears to have a 4R70W transmission. It's too small to be an E4OD.

Baumann Engineering says a '93 E-150 with a 4R70W is rare and "unsubstantiated".

To be sure check the door date tag under TR and see what it is. An E is E4OD, I think the 4R70W is "U".

Reason I'm saying all this is they are 2 very different transmissions and it's good to know what you have.

[bah53]

@WhoSaidTyler I think it has an AOD. Theres no electrical connector for the computer, and its got a kickdown cable. I haven't looked for a tag because the transmission is completely covered in dirt and grime. I guess somebody swapped the trans at some point in time.

[briggspower]

what are your plans for the engine and tranny?

[bah53]

@briggspower No plans yet, but I know I'll find something to throw it in

[briggspower]

@bah53 you should build some sort of rat rod and use that motor and tranny in it that would be sweet

[bah53]

@briggspower Yeah I've thought about it, all I need is a cool looking body and a frame to put it on. Too many projects in the works right now to start on something like that tho.

[More350Power]

LMAO, just pick the wheel up and turn it...... I know some cars like that! Things may fall on you, but one thing you dont want to fall is an engine AND transmission.... Thumbs Up!

[carrabec99]

you should of taken the mirrors off hell take the doors , windows if its rust free keep it some poor sucker would pay good money for those parts

[bah53]

@carrabec99 I sold one of the mirrors and the other one was broken. The doors and glass have to stay on tho, my uncle is going to cut the top of the van open and stuff it with scrap so he wanted all that left in it.

[donbehatin]

Haha, you sure left him a lot to work with.

[casebutler]

you should put that exsust on the crown vic

[smokey1858]
