To the OP: I would go the route JD took on his motor, 422 cam 95tm heads etc. Swap in a 5 speed and get rid of the crappy A4LD. (I'm so glad I never bought an auto explorer, after reading all the horror stories)
I'm reasonably sure that building a 4.0 like JD's and swapping a 5 speed, would keep you under your budget.
