- 2001 Ford explorer xlt
Ok, I would like to start off by saying I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this, I'm new here.
So here goes.
I purchased my 2001 Ford explorer xlt 5.0l v8, just over a year ago. I loved it and it has done me really well. Well, 2 days ago I got into an accident, and my SUV is not fixable. Still runs and drive great though.
So I'm wanting to put my stuff in on a new frame, with a new body. By new, I mean new to me.
What vehicles can I use to swap them into without having to buy anything new?
Since I already have everything to make it run and drive, could I take my motor, trans, wiring harness, computers, steering column, and PATS electronics and put them into another vehicle such as an f150 and it would run and drive?
If not, what could I swap them into that wouldn't take weeks of work to get running? I have decent knowledge of working on vehicles, but this will be my first swap dealing with any type of security such as PATS.
I really want to put them in an f150, but I guess my real question is, what would be an easiest vehicle to swap them into other than another explorer.
If I had a 98 f150, what would I have to do to put my motor and trans in it to make it run? Or is there a better year f150 to use that would make this swap easier?
