I have a 98 Explorer Sport with the 4.0 EFI. The head gasket is blown. I have a 4.0 SOHC from a '00 and was just going to swap the motors. I've noticed that the fuel line connectors are different on the '00 engine. Is there a conversion kit available? or a known fix for this? Is there any other problems that I should be made aware of? Everything else seems to bolt up the same on both engines. I'm just trying to decide if it may just be easier to fix the blown head gasket instead of swapping the engines and making whatever modifications may be necessary.
Another problem I'll need to solve is that the old motor has a 5 speed manual tranny...this 00 motor had a automatic tranny...will this cause problems with the computer as well? I think i'm about ready to pull my hair out...lol
Please feel free to chime in with any help you may have! Thank you VERY much!
