5.0 Into 93 xploder?

[Munchies]

Friend rolled her sploder and killed the trans (93) might want to run a 5.0 for the dunes. I will be swapping her trans, and thought WTF, I wonder if it can be done..

Not two days later after I agreed to do hers, the trans in my 92 took a crap, so now I get to do two tranny swaps this week. Yahoo!!!!!!!

do a search for engine swaps.. tis been done several times by many people and htere are writeups on it.... its not going to jsut be a standard bolt in swap... and the a4ld cannot handle the v8

not only can the trans not handle the V8, it wont even bolt up
The 4.0L family of engines are a 60 degree V6 and the 5.0L is a traditional Ford 90 degree. thats just the start.

There are plenty of 5.0L Gen I's running around if you are interested., teh Easiest and cheapest 5.0L to put in there is a 96-97 Explorer 5.0L

I am actually having trouble finding any threads about swapping out.

Will a engine/tranny/xfer case from a 96/97 bolt into a 1st gen? My dad has a 96 v6, and I hate the xfer case, its awd(auto)/hi/lo. Will the xcase from a first gen bolt onto an auto from a 5.0 explorer?

I can get a 5.0 for 100 dollars, would it be cheaper to just find a trans from a 96-97 explorer or earlier stang? I know the newer style tranny on my dads sploder has a lot more electronics to it, than mine. He just had to replace a solenoid in the valve body. Mine doesnt have any electronic crap. How will that play out in the swap?

I am new to explorers, but not new to wrenching. I ahve a few International's. Scout II's etc.

from what i have heard on here is that a 5.0L engine with a AOD from a mustang/lsc/t-bird/cougar and a AA adaptor to run the stock transfer case from the Explorer onto the above mentioned tranny.

I am doing the search for this to do on my 92 Xplorer

try the link in my signature, basically the conversion I have almost completed is exactly what you are talking about, except my BII is not a Gen I Explorer, though they are identical from the windshield forward.

Also several other members on this board have completed many variations of this converision.
