lol ya it looks kinda familiar. and its actually really easy, especially on the 4.0 because you dont really have to mess with valve or ignition timing. and looks good stuffed in there.

I heard the Neon injectors were perfect for a nice stock upgrade. But im guessing with all the work you've done that they wont be enough.

well right now im running the stock 1998 injectors and it idles rough and doesnt have the acceleration i want and know i can get from the new motor. im just still a lil confused as to what injectors will be a direct swap. ive been told neon injectors and ford #19's from the 5.0 exploders but havent been able to get exact years that i should be looking for so im too lazy too do all the research i guess i just want somebody to tell me what the hell to get!
