hey im wanting to upgrade my 1994 2wd to a 4wd maybe we could swap parts .....
 






that would be great ...what about shiping?...and what about all the wireing that i would have to get out of my truck to make shore it works when you put yous in?.
 






Hmm kinda curious... why ya wanna go to 2wd? And if yer converting from 4x4 to 2x4 and wanting to do a v-8... Chances are good it'll be cheaper to get a newer model with the V-8 and 2wd

are you insane????

Okay, you would be better off just selling your explorer and buying another with 2 wheel drive. You would make money because 2wd's are worth less than 4wd's.
Then you should put the 302 in, but I must say that a 5.0 will fit with a few adjustments.

P.S PROOFREAD

:bounce: :shoot:

God........you must be joking.
 






The engine cross member is not different.... Trust me I know my 1992 Navajo was 2wd to start. and it has been a 4x4 for going on 3 years. one of the I-beam drop bracket on the coss member is different. But that is it.
