well, the jury is still out on whether ford will warranty or help with a new engine cost or wash their hands of me. in any case, I need a plan for a new engine. I evaluated my options in the aftermarket and for cost and desired results, a boss crate engine is the way to go...almost. since the engine is out and the dealer who has the car torn apart could care less what goes back in, I want to look at the most cost effective mods to add while the engine bay is empty.
everything I want to do is for longevity, not power production. I am going to stick with the kooks shorties (with test pipes until emission season rolls around), a CAI and a tune.
so, the engine comes with the oil cooler adapter, but not the cooler. I will need to purchase this. I plan on adding some gauges so I don't have to trust idiot lights that don't actually do anything until the damage is done. I think I should go ahead and get the CJ pulse ring. I am also going to be looking at new clutches. not that mine is bad, but no sense in leaving the stocker in there since its apart. I was also thinking about a radiator. what else should I add?
so, lots of you have added mods or have thought about what you would add if your motor goes up. well, lets hear what you would add to an already stout boss engine.
