This rig ('93 4.0L AW4 and fully loaded) was Tboned and rolled on it's side. It started and ran well enough to get on/off a flatdeck trailer, then it was started before I picked it up and acted like it was running out of gas and stalled. Now, no spark.
I'm scrapping the rig, but the drivetrain will live on in my '84 J10 so I need to parse down all un-needed excess, like the ABS and airbags.
The only body parts left of any use are the tailgate (survived w/o a dent, even though the roof was opened like a can opener) and hood (slight wow in it) plus left mirror, a few front markers, and left tail light.

it could be a fuel cut off switch. for some reason it got triped on a ford escort I have and it wouldnt start. put some wd40 through it and it started so I just replaced the switch, which sucked but it fixed my problem. not sure if GC have em but just a thought.

don't scrap the motor, you can probably slavage it. Either an overhaul or a stroker will solve your problems.
