2011 Ford Explorer Limited Engine.

[pitt777]

Hello to all....Got a 2011 Ford Explorer Limited with a 3.5 with oil cooler/ non turbo/ Vin 8. Looking at swapping a 2013 Ford explorer 3.5 Vin 8 into it. All auto stores and Junk yards show compatibility only with 2011-2012. Researching shows that all parts are the same except the oil pan, So question is anyone aware if switching the oil pan would work. Following parts are the same as far as I can ascertain.

Engine Block
Cylinder Heads
Throttle Body
Crank Sensor
Crankshaft Sensor
Coils
Flywheel
Fuel Injectors
Intake manifold ...Lower and Upper.
Engine Mounts
Front timing cover
Engine Rebuild kit.

Does anyone know if this will work? Thanks in advance

Update:
Found this on Ford website:

Cylinder Block P/N 6009. Same for 2011-2013
Usage: Gaskets and Additional parts must be purchased separately. Oil Pan and Pickup must be serviced separately if required .11/01/2010 to 02/06/2012. The way I am reading it, is the oil pan and pick up tube would need to replaced for those years. (Swapped). Please verify with a professional.

Welcome to the Forum.
I read a post that mentioned that the 2011-12 do not have an engine oil cooler while the 2013+ does. Also found the following although it doesn't appear to be very helpful. Engine compatibility 2012-2013
If buying a used engine it might be a good idea to replace the internal water pump and timing chain before installing it.

Water pump failure leads to dead engine

I hate being the guy that joins only to have his first post be about needing help, but I’ve been lurking here for the better part of a year and now have a depressing reason to reach out for assistance. This is long, so the summary is 1k miles over warranty, water pump failed without any check...

Op was looking for non turbo to non turbo I believe.

Well, aren't you the smartest guy in the room...

I'm giving him additional tools that may be beneficial for a change as drastic as he's asking about. Block, trans and many of the physical components are very similar, not to mention, processes and lessons-learned could be gleaned from the information...or not.

Just was clarifying it...no need to be rude.
