Agreed.

Seems like the Explorers are getting rarer in the yards, but worst case I can at least buy new gears in a ratio that works for me. If you want something taller than 3.2x new, you are out of luck as far as I have seen. Not that I have done an exhaustive search, but I was curious about the idea of a 8HP and started looking to see if I could get a taller gear to match and gave up after awhile.

I would on a ZF not go any higher than a 3.23 or 3.08. For me I think the 2.94 is perfect. When you get on it, it's a pure adrenaline rush. The car just screams in like half a second it's faster than any I have ever driven. You can hear and feel it flying through the gears and speedo is racing to 100 and on in short order. I have only braved 120 to 140 a few times. The car never stopped accelerating. My wits and nerves backed out.

Front brakes are fine but I want disc rear and Oklahoma roads are awful so suspension and Borgensen box are needed. Front is rebuilt and upgraded but steering box is old close ratio. Would rather have the room from the upgrade. The whole point is to eventually track up the car a bi at Hallet racing. With the large sway bars and tires I'm impressed handling is good. IRS would make it better not cheap but that was never the point. Once I did the engine and ZF watching bills sort of went away. What was that receipt no matter. For sure it's an addiction for me and a huge stress relief. I never leave the garage bummed after a drive or working on car all smiles. Driving to work today!
