Hi Everyone
I am new to the forum and am hoping I can get some advice on swapping out my 4.0l Explorer with a Barra Turbo engine as I have just had my fourth motor blow on the Explorer and am looking to make a change.
 






Gonna be a LOT of custom work. Which motor? Will it physically fit?
 






There was someone on the Corral forum who imported about six of those. I think he had them all here years ago, he was planning to use one and sell the others.
Here's the link; For Sale - FIRST Ford Barra motors in the USA! IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!

Finding one will be tough, but also as a straight six it's a longer engine. Read that short 13 post thread, it has some basic information you might like to know. If you find one, mating a trans to it and fitting it well be tough. The rest might not be too bad, and the result would likely be very powerful and efficient for the engine size. Good luck,
