- 2004 Sport Trac Adrenalin
Hey guys,
Ok, so I own a Black 2004 Sport Trac 4x4 Adrenalin. It has 209,200+ miles on it and the timing chain is starting to rattle.
If I have to remove the engine to repair it, the 4.0 isn't going to be reinstalled. I've been wanting to do a 5.0 swap into the Sport Trac for a long time now!
I have 2 2000 V8 AWD Explorers, one is a rusty limited which will be the donor. I'll eventually be installing the message center into the center console of the sport trac as well, but that is in a later stage.
So, in conjunction with the V8 302 swap, I will also be swapping in a 4406 transfer case while reusing the electronic shifter from the current 1356 transfer case. (Currently the sport trac has the ability to "neutral tow" behind an RV or other vehicle via a tow bar and 4-wheels down. Swapping in the 4406 while reusing the electronic 4x4 shifter, I'll be able to retain the "Neutral Towing" capability - Something that was never available with the AWD V8 on the earlier explorers.
With preparing for the swap, wiring is one of the headaches that can arise. Even more so for a Job 2 sport trac.
I went to the junkyard yesterday and grabbed the main wiring harnesses from similar vehicles. (Both came from 2001 vehicles, one a 2001 V8 Mountaineer, the other a 2001 4.0 SOHC Explorer Sport.) I will be joining these together to make the engine wiring install much simpler.
Here is what I have so far:
Here is the pin out differences and how I am splicing them together. Making it basically plug and play. (Need an extra 6" of wiring anyway so the harness isn't stretched, so, win-win.)
(The 2004 uses a digital interface for the dash gauges (SCP Bus - Pin 3 & 11)) - similar to that of a scan gauge II that uses the OBD port for data. For older swaps, the analog gauge data might be necessary. I'm kinda thinking if the pins are empty/unused on the 04 sport trac side of the C110/C115 connector, I might still wire up the analog gauge wires in case this adapter ever gets removed out of the 04 Trac and gets used in another project... ***Anyone have a wiring diagram for a Job 1 Sport Trac or an Explorer Sport?)
***I need to figure out what Pin 42 is on the 2000 V8 connector. It is Circuit 36 YE/WH. Anyone know what it goes to?***
