engine fitment ?'s

[hottrodder805]

im wondering if a 4.0 block from an 2001 explorer will work in an older explorer like mine, and if it would would i be able to re-use all of my electronics, accesories etc.... because i found a 4.0 block on ebay for 175$ and free shipping, and i thought, hmmmmm....., maybe it will fit??? so i thought id come on here and ask, thanks!:

Which 4.0L are you looking at?

There were 2 of them. 4.0L OHV (Overhead Valve, Pushrod Motor) and 4.0L SOHC (Single Overhead Cam, No Pushrods).

Your Explorer has the OHV motor.

the year of the block is a 2001, i wanna know if i can use all my stuff on the newer block, and if i couldnt, what would i have to change

you missed his point

in 2001 the explorer came with a 4.0L OHV engine or a 4.0L SOHC engine, only a 2001 OHV engine block will work in your 91-94 explorer, the SOHC would be a complete conversion

If you put a 01 OHV 4.0L into your 91-94 explorer, you will only use the block and heads, all sensors, wiring, accessories, etc come from your old engine
