302/351 in explorer?

[effonefitty]

k, dunno the similaritys between b2s/rangers and explorers... sooooo would a v8 fit in an explorer? is it pretty much the same as a b2 or ranger? im talking about the 91-94's... i know theres a 4.0 available in them so it should fit... right? i havent seen any done yet.

do a search. TONS of us have put 302's in explorers. It is nearly the same as a ranger or bronco II

Difference is the explorer gives you slightly more room for a radiator then a gen I Ranger/B2

Other then that they are identical, 91-94 Ex.

351 will fit as long as you have the small block, clearance is also a little tighter then a 5.0, seeing how it is wider.

yep, i know all about the 351 etc etc, ive done a 302 in a ranger i was just curious how imilar it is, im looking to pick up an explorer but im reserching what i can do to it first :fire: so far so good!!

same and same, the engine cradle and frame, steering box, front suspension, everything is the same.
The Explorer radiator support is about 3" further forward then the other trucks and thats it.
