    May have just ordered without being specific.
    5.8 is 5.8 all the same they thought.

    That's what I'm thinking. Wish I had the 5.8 lol

    The PCMs have like 3 different codes aside from the part number.

    They have a code they refer to as "tear tag", calibration code and then one other hardware code. I'm going to have to take a trip up to the Ford dealer to ask them.

    I must keep thinking of the many OJ Simpson Broncos I keep looking at down here and confusing them with your fixer upper.
    Duh.

    Hahaha if I found out that it had leaky heads, I was planning on a rebuild of the 5.0.

    GT40 heads, new cam, pistons, headers and i would have had to get the intake ported. I was looking at 5.0 builds for under $1000. Guys were claiming I could squeeze 400hp for under $1k.

    I looked at what the 4R70W trans is rated for HP wise, says it can handle around 700 torque with a bigger trans cooler and a cooling fan.

    Yea I'm sure something would need to be upgraded.

    Edited my post, I meant torque not HP

    Junk yard find! Found and almost mint tail gate insert. Paid $15 for it at the U-pull. Haven't had any luck on doors or fenders yet.
