I love the small block Ford, and almost all Ford engines, you could definitely make it breathe a lot better than they did from the factory in these but they are limited to a point just because of the block strength.

So from what I can tell, it's less to do with the pump, and more to do with line fittings weeping and getting a little low on fluid. The one in my 93 f150 leaks a hair, and will start to whine when it gets low, but shuts right up once you top it off. I swapped OEM foxbody ones in my Econoline and ranger, and no issues there.

How durable is the M5OD r2? Around the same as a foxbody t5?
@CarsFoodWeed3 жыл бұрын
I would say it's more durable considering the extra weight it pulls around in trucks. They used them in 2wd and 4wd applications. They aren't designed to be shifted fast. I've had to change top covers several times because of worn shift forks.
