Explorer life- PICS!

[Hossexplorer]

I just thought I would share some of my recent adventures with my Explorer since I finished the 5.0 swap. I've now owned this vehicle for 12 years and I still love driving it. Hopefully these pics will get you out in the garage to finish your Explorer project!

Very nice looking rig. Those rims and tires are sweet!

Awesome rig! Have any pics of the 5.0 under there? Been debating on 5.0l vs 6.0 LS. Any major setbacks with the swap?

It was definitely a tight fit and a bit more difficult than I thought it would be, mostly due to a lack of aftermarket support. I have done LS swaps into other older Chevy's and they were very easy. I have no idea about the LS fitting into an Explorer. The hardest part would be finding or fabbing an oil pan to fit.

That's a clean looking swap. I have had my Explorer for 24 years, still making it better.
