I saw these mods on a sig of someone's and they claimed to have a 4.6L explorer. My question is, how much would each of the above mods cost and what would the gains be? What did this guy do to make his explorer 4.6L over stock 4.0?
 






if i remember correctly and i am sure someone will correct me if i am wrong but i believe that its the v8 size
 






the newer explorers have a 4.6 v8...older ones have 5.0 i believe. i dont know what years exactly
 






4.0 is the V6
4.6 is the SOHC Mod V8 used in 2002 and up Ex's
the 5.0 was in the 95- 2001's I believe.

Either way those mods would be pretty effective although I would imagine the porting and polishing of the heads if done correctly would be very time consuming and costly.
