Big Blocks ROCK!!!
Part of me can't believe I did it . Swore all through HS I would never own a Ford. Guess my HS buddy finally got the best of me.
Just picked up a 94 Explorer 4x4 5 speed manual 4.0 v6 for $900. I'll get pics, probably tomorrow. Body is straight with only a couple dings in the front quarter panel. No rust issues. Needs some TLC on the inside for broken things like door handles and dash parts. Nothing a few trips to the junkyard can't fix. Clutch was replaced last year. We'll see how big of a project this ends up being. I think I managed a good deal. Previous owner said it burned about 3/4 quart per 3,000 miles. This will be the replacement for the Saturn. I just don't drive as much anymore so needing an uber economic car isn't as necessary. Having something on the smaller side that's still 4wd is more important to me now. Tried finding an old cherokee or blazer for several months but just couldn't find the right fixer upper. I'm partial to manual transmissions when it comes to older vehicles which eliminates a huge percentage of what's for sale.
