Alright looking for some guidance on what i would need to do to do something
Bit of background got a 1999 explorer with the 4.0 SOHC and the body wasnt the best when i got it a couple years ago and just hadnt had the money to take care of stuff till now was going to attempt fixing the body issues but with how much id need to do to the body ended up accidentally finding a good body off a 2000 explorer and now looking to body swap them the 2000 had the 5.0 V8 that body is already off the frame so i would use my frame and entire driveline wondering if anyone knows what i would need to swap/change to make it work wiring and mechanical wise
 






Well 99 and 2000 are basically the same truck
So the body will swap without too much issue, if any

It should basically be plug and play
However you will want to keep your v6 dash and wiring as the v8 maybe missing a few things like a different gem module and 4wd controls and wiring

It should be fairly straight forward as long as you have the ability to lift the entire body off and drive the frame out, drive the new frame in… plug and play
