noob explorer GT40 intake question

[pantera77]

Hate to bump but...

I just broke off a thermostat housing bolt. Now I could try and drill it out, but I already know it would lead to a complete disaster. Not to mention my lower intake gaskets are shot and leak like a drunk man. So would I be hurting myself throwing on my explorer intake on a lopo? I know it's overkill and a half but I have everything all needed for it. I also have 2 extra regular lower intakes too though.

With that said, what if I stabbed an explorer cam in it to? Like you said, I'd already be halfway there. Even with the shit e6's I figure it has to help. There's enough of them at the local yard. I'm just getting really bored with this lopo.

If you put the explorer cam in, you have to change the firing order and that means changing the engine computer, changing the engine computer means putting in the injectors that the engine computer expects, otherwise it'll run chronically rich or lean.

That's kind of one of the reasons I wanted to so I could put my 19lbs injectors in right away. I don't want to have to buy new o-rings twice (ya I'm that cheap).

But thinking about it, I already have a set of e7's lying around, and if I remember correctly, even stock e7 headed lopos aren't to terrible. And it wouldn't be to hard to just throw em' on since I'll already have to intake off. And I'd only be out the price of some gaskets and fluids which are already drained.
