engine swap

Good day, I have the need for speed but unfortunately I don’t know how fast I am going. I have a 302 swapped 2 door sport with no working Speedo I was wondering if anyone can help me. It’s a 97 body 00 5.0 engine and ecu 04 mustang transmission 4r70 8:8 rear i did the swap 5 years ago...

I love my 07 explorer sport trac so as she gets up there in age (345,000 km or 214,000 miles), I'm looking at replacing the engine with something built and less at end-of-life (certified tech so skills and tools not an issue), although I noticed the 4.6l 3v comes in the f150 and the mustang...

I’m curious what would be needed if I swapped my 5speed OHV engine to an auto SOHC engine. Do the bell housings in the manual OHV and auto SOHC match? I cant find anything online. -I drive a 1998 Explorer V6 4.0L OHV 4x4 (cologne)

So I have this 95 Explorer Sport that I love dearly. I’ve done a few minor aesthetic mods to her here and there, nothing major and nothing to do with the engine. She runs perfectly, no issues at all since I replaced the clutch at 174k, and I just rolled over 179k. The thing is, I want a little...

Hello! I know, this has been asked before. But wait, read on. I have an ‘04 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 with the 4.0 and a donor with 4.6 AWD. I’d like to keep the 4wd instead of using AWD. When I swap everything over, will the t-case from the 4.0 work with the 4.6? thank you!

Hello Everyone! I’ve been a member of this forum for a long time – apparently since 2013. However, in recent years I haven’t been spending as much time here unfortunately due to neglecting my exploder. Well the exploder is back and its finally time for me to post a build thread! Most...

I just purchased a 98 explorer xlt sans engine, Stock it had the 4.0 sohc. I have a 98 xl with 4.0 ohv. My ohv is still running strong but the NY salt ate her body all to hell. The sohc is from South Carolina and is rust free. I want to put my ohv in it. Here is my conundrum, when it comes...

I have 238k on my current 4.6L V8 and am currently looking to purchase a remanufactured 4.6 to swap in my 2006 Ex. I'm looking at powertrain products inc online. Has anyone bought anything from these guys? They claim that their remanufactured motors are better quality than the original motors...

What it do everyone? I've been looking into options for my 93 Ex and putting a new engine in it. I was looking for something with a little more power than the original 4.0L I currently have in it. I was just curious what kind of swaps people have done with their Exs and what would ideally be...

I’ve been a gear head all my life and frankly I’m getting bored. It seems like we have so many performance SUVs on the market and Ford is grossly misrepresented. I currently have a ‘16 sport and I was looking for information on swapping out the engine for a modular coyote engine. Has anyone...

What is the difference between 4.0L engine out of a 2004 ford explorer and 4.0L engine out of a 2005 ford explorer

Well, the timing chains in my v6 flex fuel SOHC finally broke, or slipped, after 210,000 miles. Either way, the engine's done for. I'm having a shop install an engine from a junkyard, or possibly even a Jasper reman engine, if I can find the money. What cars would have an engine that would fit...

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer ELT that was bought and paid for. I loved my Explorer. I was hit on my passenger side by a drunk driver with no insurance (no... I didn't have full coverage). Both passenger side doors are severely damaged. I was planning on buying two new doors and replacing, but the...

I have recently inherited my fathers 2001 Sports Trac and I love this truck! It currently has a 4.0L V6! Its a powerful engine, but it has an engine tick and its leaking oil pretty bad! My plans are going to turn it into a drag truck but that v6 isn't going to cut it for me! That being said, i...

Hello, So I have a Ford Sport Trac 2001. It started doing a loud rattle and my driver side valve cover cracked. I had some mechanics look at it and after opening it up they found some broken plastic rail pieces and said the timing had jump. They said they couldn't do the job and that it would be...

I have been driving my 2003 Eddie Bauer for the past 4 years. I have been pretty happy with it until recently. I let a lot of issues build up and became very frustrated with all of them (I will detail these issues later). I was considering getting something else, but I changed my mind and...

Ok, so at 160k my oil feeder tube decided it liked the plastic in the bottom of the oil pan, and, long story short, engine went boom. SO. I am buying an engine from a site that rates and sells them relatively cheap and was wondering if anyone had a step by step or at least tips for removing the...

just had an engine swap recently and trying to work out a few bugs. there is a loud sucking sound coming from the intake. it sounds like a wind tunnel pulling in air. it comes and goes with a slight fluctuation in rpms when it happens. not pulling a check engine code. just sounds nasty...

I just had a rebuilt 4.6 installed in my 02 Explorer. There's stress a few kinks that need to be worked out. I was wondering if someone can lead me in right direction. Since the swap, I've been getting the check engine light and check fuel cap. The code is for evap emissions. The...
