It looks like I'm going to need to get more parts then. I do have another vehicle so I'm ok, I don't expect it to take a weekend but if I do it or if I get someone else to do it or if I do some of the work and another person help me or vice/versa I don't want this to take any longer than say a...

Thanks, but you're not seeing my point. I don't care if its MY transfer case. What matters is how it functions and it sounds from the advice you are giving me I need to get the 4406 which I appreciate. So if I get this Fseries transfer case, am I to get an F series transmission?

Thanks for your comments, here is my response The explorer engine is down on power so I don't think it would therefore be as good of a starting point. why do I "have" to use the explorer heads, manifolds, intakes? Regarding the front dress stuff, yes, understood, one of the reasons I...

Just concerned this would slow down any momentum I would have going at that point in time.

No, I'm in Northern Kentucky actually so no issues with emissions. I reached out to RangerSVT or is it (SVTRanger lol?) who has been extremely helpful and thoughtful with info. Let me know where you are located, hes about 4 hours away from me. I think he was telling me that I could use the...

The truck is 4x4. My plan is to still have 4x4 however I gotta do it...

Not sure why you would say I can't keep my 4x4. Thats not accurate. Yes, the tons of wiring and other bits is why.... as I mentioned in my original post, I am buying a 5.0 engine and a truck...

I can unbolt things and bolt things back together so that part is not whats concerning. Its all the little details.

Thanks for the input, here is what I bought, the truck is an explorer not the mountaineer I mentioned originally.. Here's a shot of the mustang engine:

The mustang engine was cheap and in good running condition so I figured it wouldn't hurt to have it. The mountaineer is something I read about buying on this forum. I read over RangerSVT's post in the past hour or so and damn it this is way beyond me and it pisses me off. I reached out to him...

your killin me dude... i stated in my original post im buying both an engine from a mustang and a 99 mountaineer.... but you have a point the more I read about all the things that are needed im getting way scared again.... i need to get some help (mechanic and psychological)

I want to keep my 4x4

I bought a 5.0 engine out of a guy's mustang. I'm also buying a 99 mountaineer later today. I'm going to keep reading before I start wrenching but I'm tired of hearing about this swap and being too timid to try it. I wouldn't mind some help. Anyone in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky or Dayton...

I just discovered that this was the case, is there a similar kit out there?

Did a few searches and probably because of age some of the pics I hoped to see of other vehicles are no longer visible.... regardless, from what I've seen if I want mustang wheels they should be from the 1994 to 2004 mustangs, correct? I'm looking to combine this with the 3" body lift. If...

any suggestions?

I saw a black one on facebook. Looked really cool. Id like to get a black one with a v8...ive just started checking these out, dont seem to be a lot for sale but maybe im wrong. I currently have an 02 4x4 sport trac thats getting long in the tooth...

But im about to lose my mind....i figured out what fuse to pull. So i pulled it. I should have left the truck running so it would die out but i didnt know any better. I tried to disconnect the filter using the oen cap method and that didnt work....so im off to get the right disconnect tools. But...

Is it 48 or 49???? I see reference ti both in these forums. Frustrating. I have been searching for an hour. Of the million or so images of a fuse box diagrqm i see none match up to what mine looks like in my 02 sport trac.

I pulled relay 49 after searching for info but my 02 wont crank over with this removed. Sucks, im wanting to replace the filter right now

I may have posted too soon, I'm finding some info on google....

Is this a thing now? I see in the useful threads the original 5.0 swap but has anyone else done one? I did a search but not much came up....maybe I'm terrible at searching though. I'm curious about this, I see the one guy used an older mountaineer from the 90's as a donor but what about...

I skimmed through the 5.0 sticky and it appears it was a 2wd truck....can this be done to a 4wd truck?

This is why I hate embarking on this search.

I typically don't see many of us out there in the real world!
