Are you asking about what motors to use?
You can use any Explorer 4.6 block and heads from 2002-2005.

You may be able to use 2006+, I don't know. Again we are talking block and heads.
Pan, Intake, valve covers, timing cover I think would all be fine as well. Some of the hoses were upgraded over the years and are certainly better in the 04-05 models.

I've not personally done any swap work but believe this info to be true.

You have the Romeo engine. If you use a Windsor engine, you'll also need the flex plate and possibly torque converter from the donor as well. At least the flex plate.

Hey! Nice to see someone with more Explorers than myself.
 






Craps I need to update my explore list it's grown by 4 more and yes I'm looking for direct bolt in got a chance to buy wrecked 4.6 02 model for the mine I don't want to have to do a lot of part swapping
 






hmmmm. I might be able to help you there. My mom just wrecked my 2002 yesterday. 68K miles. Entire passenger side has to be replaced. Bumper to bumper :(

2002 V8 4X4. Motor runs great.
