engine swap

I finally did it. After many months of idle. I bit the bullet and bought a 5.0/C4 combo from a workmate/friend. This unit originally was from a mustang I am told. Previous owner converted it from F.I. to Holley 4-BBL and Edelbrock performer intake. It was used in a 32 Ford rod, and replaced when...

Just to give you all some background info I'll tell the story that lead to this dead cylinder in my explorer. It's a 97 XLT with the 302 v8 and all wheel drive. My radiator started leaking coolant early last month, suspiciously a couple days after getting some recall work done by the ford...

Hello all, and nice to meet you- I just bought an 07 explorer limited with a 4.6 and it might need an engine. If someone could answer this question for me I would be very grateful. I can get my hands on a 4.6 motor out of the same year F150. will it drop right in or are they different in some...

Hello there, I have a 1999 Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition 4WD and am contemplating an engine swap. I currently have the big heavy 5.0 under the hood but was wanting to swap to something smaller lighter and that gets better fuel economy. And as it happens I have a 92 Supercoupe with the...

I just bought two 1994 Eddie Bauer Explorers. One has a great interior, the 4WD works and it has a good A/C. The tires are about 60% and the transmission has been rebuilt. The only problem is that the heads appear to be cracked. It took 5 gallons of water to travel 50 miles. The other...

Has any one done or thought about putting a 5.4 triton in a 1st gen x?

My Explorer currently has a dead V6 SOHC and it's VIN E with an automatic 5spd trans. I don't know which of the available transmissions it is though. My intent is to swap for a 5.0 from another Explorer of the same year. my question is, does anyone know if they had a universal eng/trans bolt...

Driving home a few weeks ago when the truck started driving like crap. Replaced everything I could with out pulling the motor. Took it to Ford they said they couldn't figure it out after the $120 test, but they could send it to the engine guy for around $2,000... So instead it is getting a V8...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if a 4.0L from a 95 Explorer will fit in a 98 Explorer? I've been told that the engine is not compatible but was hoping for a more definitive answer. Thank You!!!

Hey guys, kinda a newbie when changin out engines. Just wondering if a 4.6L engine from a 98 crown vic will fit in a 96 explorer xlt? Just let me know all that i would need to know and do?

Background My Explorer is a 2001 XLT with the 4.0L SOHC motor. I purchased it in 2003 with 25k on the odometer and it has been a great truck for my wife and I. Last Thanksgiving we went out to the car, pumpkin pie in hand, to head to a friend’s house. After I started the car we heard a loud...

The chain guide gave way on my '01 4.0L XLT and ruined the engine this Thanksgiving. The engine was idling fine, then a metallic rasping followed by the engine running sluggishly. A few seconds later it sounded like someone poured a can of BBs into the crankcase. I almost have the old...

I hydrolocked my engine and it is beyond repair. I was wondering if anyone knew about the problems I might run into if I try to drop a 4.6 in (previously was a 4.0) my 2002 Explorer XLT. Or if it isn't even possible. Thanks Guys! Kevin

2005 4.0 MOTOR OUT OF 2005 FORD RANGER COMPLETE WITH HARNESS AND ALL ACCESSORIES. Would this engine drop into a 97 Exp w/4.0 OHV auto trans w/overdrive? What mods would need to be done? Are there kits to do it?

Hi everybody! I'm new on here and am hoping to get an answer about my Ranger. My '90 Ranger has a 2.9L in it and I want MORE POWER!!! But I'm only looking to spend at most $700-$800. My solution is to put a 4.0L in it, but I don't know if the 2.9L's transmission will work with a 4.0L...

I've got an 03 XLT 4.0 Vin K (flex fuel) with a blown engine - looking for swap, wondering if Vin E (regular) can work in it? And what are the issues, assuming I swap intakes, computer, etc.? Also interested in info from anyone that has done a 4.0 swap in a 01-03 explorer recently.

I have a 5.0 out of a '95 F-150 (including all wiring harness,control module,etc...) thinking about throwing that in my '93 Xploder with a 4.0..along with tranny and T.C. out of the truck..figure I'll leave twin traction beams and rearend gears until I destroy them..then have a high pinion dana...
