Well I guess it's your money to do what you want with...but unless I had nearly infinite funds the LAST thing I would spend money on is making an Explorer faster.

If it were me, I would rather do a 302 based stroker such as a 331 vs going through the headaches to make a 351 work.

I thought the same which is why I havent put anything into the Explorer other than regular maintenance and car audio.

You can setup a 347 to go 50-oz imbalance... it's real easy for the machine shop in fact. A budget 347 would work WITH the stock flywheel, flexplate, whatever then.
That's the route I would go if someone was forcing me to "soop up" an Explorer. lol.

I wouldn't expect anyone who wants to put a 351 into an Explorer to understand.
