Unlike some people wanting to swap from the 4.0 ohv to the 4.0 sohc, I want to swap from the 4.0 sohc to the 4.0 ohv.
Why? Simple. The 4.0 sohc has known timing chain problems. And my timing chain is failing, thats why I'm here.
I can get a used 4.0 ohv and swap it cheaper than I can get the timing chain kit for the 4.0 sohc that I currently have.
Now, I've done some research and if the internet is correct my 1999 Explorer should have the 5r55e transmission but just to make sure of that, how can I ID the transmission?
What will be needed besides the 4.0 ohv engine?
Thanks,
Chris
