OBX headers are back on eBay if you're interested on going down that route.

Update: I 'd still like a pinout for that plug, I can't seem to find it anywhere online for the life of me. I have a feeling that the plug is responsible for preventing the truck from starting

Update: plug problem fixed, Jerry rigged some wires up for it. Not going into too much detail unless someone asks as it will take awhile to explain. Now when I go to start the truck it will crank but makes a terribly loud slapping noise and I also have no spark. Have fuel pressure at the relief...

Correction: the plug has 6 wires running through it, I don't an evtm so any help is useful help.

I almost forgot, I am having trouble locating a home for a plug in my engine bay. Its a rather large plug the has seven wires going into it. The female end is on the 5.0l explorer engine wiring harness and the male end is on the explorer headlight/front accessory harness near where the abs...

Swap update: I have the drivetrain 90 % of the way into the truck. The motor is bolted in and almost buttoned up all the way. The transmission is in but needs the filter changed the bw4406 is almost in, it clears the frame rail but there is a rather large body plug that comes into the cabin of...

Okay, I am planning on using the factory Explorer motor and transmission mounts.

Thanks for the picture, that truck frame looks really clean, nice work. I am definitely curious on how it will fit in my application.

Interesting, For now I think I'll trim the tabs because that looks like it would open up a decent amount of room between the frame rail and the tcase. I'll report back if it fits or not when I stuff her in there this weekend or the next.

I almost forgot, do you guys recommend moving the drive train over to the passenger side the 1/2 inch or trimming the tabs of the bw4406 to make the clearance between the frame rail? I appreciate the expertise from you explorerers.

Swap update: Have a bw4406 finally, got lower intake studs and a front driveshaft. I need a starter solenoid and rear driveshaft still, also found out I need a transmission coolant line because my idiot friend kinked one shut and didn't tell me. Other then these minor things I believe the motor...

Apologies for the being off for so long. I have been extremely busy with work. Swap update: I have finally finished media blasting (our sand blaster is a cheap pos) all the aluminum parts (intakes, brackets, adapters etc) and will have pictures and start painting them soon. Tomorrow morning I...

That's what I was afraid of but I'm not afraid of a little custom work. Plan B will be to wait until torque monster headers or something similar become available again.

First picture is the truck that will be getting the new drivetrain, started life as a 3.0l auto before I bought it in 2014. The truck came into my hands with a 4.0l OHV auto, didn't know that wasn't the original motor till a year later, also found out the miles were rolled back :(. So the...

Hi everyone, I will be using this thread to document my progress on swapping the 5.0l and all necessary components from a 1999 Explorer Limited AWD into my 2000 Ranger 4.0 OHV. I also plan on asking questions here as this community is full of information. Stay tuned for details!
