im so close but so far...  got heads bolted up and lower intake on but im still in need of the new TB and injectors if anyone has some 19# injectors for a ford for cheap that would be great! otherwise im hitting the JY and pocketing some 5.0 injectors.. hopefully they have a tb too.. 

[Kyle]

good luck on the tb... im sure theres gotta be one out there somewhere!

Update 

Went to parts galore got my 19# injectors (free) shhhh  also got a 5.0l HO throttle body  and had my dad make a throttle body adapter/ TB spacer (he even put the spiral in the center like the big brand ones and it only cots me 10$ for the aluminum instead of 150$ for  a stupid spacer! and lastly i made my free floating rocker arms! props to my dad with all his machines in his shop! 
++cant see the spiral in the center of spacer because my camera phone is crap..++

PICS-

thanks guys id have some better pics of it but its raining... -lame-  and just wait till i get'er all jacked    but that might not be for some time  at least till i pay off my credit card ROFL

nice work , hows that 2.9 run for you ? 

[Hitman89x]

2.9l runs incredible i spin my tires (accidentally) around every corner ROFL it feels like its a real torque monster, and with the 4.0l radiator electric fan combo +160 degree thermostat it doesnt get hot at just warm enough to run correctly +++ i havent done my third oil change yet but everything still seems to be good im actually surprised how much this motor has woken up with all the modification..  i would love to get it dyno'd  but i aint payin for that...

[Hitman89x]

oh and its even cooler that i moded it and its speed density and runs correctly lol  i guess i did it right? ported intake from tb to heads and bigger injects + bigger bore  so its almost like the computer presets are still a good configuration for it =) just wish i could throw a choppy cam  in it =(

 ok so i found out one side of my truck  has bad ball joints and the other side some how one of the locking nuts on the spindle that holds the wheel bearing moved forward because the other locking nut got sheered away some what so i need to hunt down these parts ASAP i need all the wheel bearing crap... also the etire back brake pad was missing except for a chunk of metal stuck in the rotor....              hopefully parts store has my ..

[Kyle]

upgrade to some stage 8 locking nuts. ive heard those spindles are notorious for backing themselves off when rapidly going from foreward to reverse a bunch of times... poor setup if u ask me... and ive known a guy to lose a WHOLE inner pad(metal plate n all) on his full size ttb axle... 

[Hitman89x]

where can i find these stage 8 locking nuts?

[Kyle]

on their website maybe?  i saw them bein used on TRUCK U one day a while ago...

[Hitman89x]

alright ill check it out
thanks

[Hitman89x]

i checked the website, seems like pretty solid stuff but they dont make it for my dana 28 =P

oh and after close inspection it looks like the last owner put the spacers and lock nuts in in the wrong order which is prolly what messed it up...

[Kyle]

to the junk yard!!!! AWAAAAYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyy!!! 

down the road i would almost look into gettina solid front axle for it, possibly one from a jeep. lot stronger and less complicated than the ttb axle stuff... just requires some fabwork to get it under there...
