5.0L Cobra Motor Swap?

[2002explorerV8]

I have a 92 OHV V6 4X4 Explorer. I just got a 92 5.0L HO motor. It has the GT40 head/intake/cam kit. 306 Forged Internal Shortblock. It's an awesome motor and it didnt cost me a penny!!! I traded an old trailer of mine for this motor!

I know what I'll need to get the motor mounted, but I was trying to search for my issues and I couldnt find anything. I want to keep all my factory options A/C, PS, 4WD, etc. What all will have to be swapped to make this work properly?

Will a stock transfer case, and driveshafts work with the AODE Mustang transmission?

Nope

You have ALOT of research to do.

The conversion is possible, it is popular and it is done alot, but your 2wd transmission is not ready for a transfer case and your driveshafts are not going to just bolt on.

I converted my 88 Bronco II to a late model Explorer GT-40 5.0L and trans, check out the thread in my signature, it will help you see whats involved in a EFI V8 drivetrain conversion (not an engine swap). I spent about 6 months and about $6500 on my conversion, did 100% of the work myself aside from the exhaust......
