Sorry Kris, I completely forgot about the mounts. I will try to get under the truck and get some measurements for the plate this weekend for both of you guys. Dave P.S. the truck has almost 20,000kms on the converdion and there hasn't been a problem with the mounts at all. All...

No the brakes off an LSC will not work. The axle tube flanges are smaller then the Explorer flanges so the caliper mount bracket will not bolt on. It would work if you built a custom bracket though.

The biggest difference between that EEC-VI system and the EEC-V system is the emission priority and the number of pins. EEC-VI are 60 pin connectors while EEC-V's are 120 pin. The emissions are priority in the EEC-V are first while 'limp home mode' is priority in the EEC-VI. I other words, on...

I used the brake cables off of the same Explorer I got the disc brakes from. I have 5.5 inches of lift, so I wanted to make sure that they didn't bind or stretch when wheeling so I used a forklift to check their length. I had 28 inches of travel from the rear wheels and there was still plenty...

I know that Ford made atleast one 1994 Ranger 5.0L, but I have never heard of an X before 1996. Another interesting couple of vehicle engine combos were 2 1993 Mustang coupe's that had 305hp DOHC 4.6L engines. These 2 cars are owned by the aftermarket manufactures collectively and were used to...

I would love to see a factory V8 in the first gen X........ please send pics of one..........

Here are some answers from my own experiences: 1. I get about 13MPG city and 18 to 20MPG highway. My personal conversion cost around $2250 canadian. I did all my own work which made it alot cheaper. 2. A 5.0L is more then enough for the X, but if you wanted you could drop a 351W in...

The rear brakes from a '95 and newer Explorer will bolt right on, and will work fine even without changing the prop valve.

E-mail me at dspeedfreak@hotmail.com .n The first conversion I did was a 2wd 5.0L, AOD. A 5 speed would be similiar, I can probably answer most, if not all of your questions.

88 and newer Continental's are front wheel drive and based on the Taurus/Sable platfrom.

If the brakes you have are newer Grand Marquis, you should find that the brackets are the same left or right and that one caliper goes to the front on one side and the other goes to the rear on the other side. for some reason Ford thought that would be better on those cars, but for some reason...

Research is definitly the best thing to do for a project of this magnatude. Don't leave one stone unturned. Now to answer your questions. 1. I would do the convertion again in a heart beat. The first conversion (93 X, 5.0L, AOD, 2WD) was a great experience and I learned alot from it...

Sorry Kris, the past couple of months have bein really busy, new job, moving, moving yet agin in a month the holidays, and of course trying to spend as much time as I can with my little girl. I will have more ability to do them after Feb 15th. I will be moving to a place where I can park the...

Oh,..... well ...... then I really did miss understand the question or just assumed the project was for an X. Ummm, good luck with your project then..............

There is one small problem with the 1356 in an Explorer. It's massive and would require cutting of the frame to fit. I was originally going to use it for my conversion until I did the research.

250,256KMS on original drive train and a little over 11.000KMS on V8 drivetrain. I hope to go well into the 500.000KMS range before I have to do any more major work. DeagleDave, when my truck started to do that, it turned out to be a cracked head. It smelled of antifreeze until it was...

I bought mine from James Duff for $950 Can, landed. (brokerage fees, duty, taxes, exchange,etc)

The output shaft for the Aod's and the 4R70W's are 31 spline shafts. A4LD's, 4R55E's and 5R55E's are all 27 spline outputs. Obviously inputs on all of the V6 X TC's are 27 spline and 5 bolt mount circle, while the v8's get the 31 splines and a 6 bolt circle.

I have the adapter for my AOD/4R70W tranny and I found it to be well worth the money. With the V8 in place and the transfer case located in the factory postion there was no driveshaft customization, etc. The way I saw it was buy the adapter or pay the price of the adapter by monkeying around...

It wouldn't make a difference which year you found. Just as long as it's complete. Engine, tranny, transfer-case, hedders, y-pipe, mounts, hoses, throttle cable, intake ducting, vaccum hoses, tranny cooler lines, tranny shifter cable, and complete wiring harnesses. It may also be cheaper and...

If you found a complete wrecked Explorer with a 5.0L, the swap would be a matter of swapping in the drive train. The wiring maybe the hardest part because Ford will keep some harness interchangeable and for some reason others are not. The conversion would be as difficult as your mechanical...

I'm using a factory torque converter. It seems to work really well and launches hard when pushed. I've surprise more then enough unsuspecting imports trying to beat me on the suicide lane.

The swap into a '95 and newer truck isn't really considered a swap. Mainly because the '96 and newer X's had the option of a 5.0L. Your route is simplier then the older trucks, find a factory X in the bone yard and rape it for it's engine mounts, accessory drive, hoses, fuel rail, intake...

I'm sure that I could built some more, it wouldn't be to hard. I now have access to a machine shop. I would have to remove them and use them as templates. This maybe possible because I am taking the truck off the road for a short spell to do some clean up work I need to do. (and rebuild the...

I reread my post and found that I wasn't too clear. The AA tailshaft that you have in your AOD should work fine in the AOD-E. But to be on the safe side I suggest refering to AA to make sure. I know that the shaft I purchased was adaptable for either tranny, but I can't say if the older...
