Explorer Engine Bays 5.0 V8

[dirtalliance]

would the engine bay be the same between a 98 explorer and a 00 explorer both with the V8... I am curious if the ac and the pulleys & belts & all that stuff are the same....

thanks so much

what is the last year of the pushrod 5.0L?
2000?
or 01?

98-01 are all the same and 96-somewhere in late 97 are the same

There are some slight differences in the air intake. My 2000 was different than another person's 2000 on the board. Not sure if it was a production date thing or what.
