Just looked at your entire thread. Nice job, everywhere! You will love the Explorer motor. Lots more power than stock and better gas mileage as a bonus. Mine was a trouble free companion for over 100,000 miles, hoping I don't regret my new one. Wheels look great too. I enjoyed reading your AC install comments. I'm finishing up installing the latest BCB/Vintage Air install on mine. A nonstop packaging challenge. Glad to read that it's working well.
One little detail. I'd advise getting an Adel clamp or similar that's big enough to go around the upper radiator hose, then fasten it to the fan shroud at the closest point. You might think that the hose will never reach the power steering pulley, and most of the time it won't. But sometimes it does, somehow, and just like that coolant is spraying everywhere. Ask me how I learned this...
