Hi all
Just two questions: In your opinion, which is the best engine used for a Ford Explorer (the year doesn´t matter)? V6 4.0L EFI SEFI SOHC Other V8 5.0L Which are the basic mods to improve the engine performance and the gas mileage? KKM or K&N Air filter? Accel, Split fire or Jacobs plug wires? Split Fire, Nology or Bosch spark plugs? Borla, Flowmaster or Gibson Cat Back? Any Chip? Mobil, Quaker or Castrol Synthetic Oil? Mobil or K&N oil filter? Supercharger System? Robert |

I enjoy my v-6 in my 92. I would go with the KKM filter w/ airbox removed, Borla headers w/ flowmaster, Splitfire plug wires, Use the chip and synthetic motor oil, I have no clue about superchargers for the Explorer but if you have the money for it GO for it!

Well I am not to sure about the others but I love my 4.0l V.6! I have a little over 230,000 miles on it and the onlt thing I have done to the engine is general stuff like changing the oil. The beast still runs strong as if it were new!

EB You sure have racked up some miles on that thing. i thought mine were getting up there (150,000) and still going strong as h@%! I really believe that these engines are alot better than the ones that they are putting in the newer Explorers. I have not had to do one thing to mine either except for the general maintnance.
