Beautiful truck... I own a 98 explorer sport and was really wondering if a 5.0 swap was possible and now i know... And this may be a stupid question but did u have to get a different transmission and im still tryin to figure out if it will work with my all wheel drive transfer case setup... I can only imagine how good that thing sounds and runs nice work..

The 5.0 will not bolt to your current transmission and the 5.0 PCM cannot control it. I am using a factory 5.0 Explorer transmission. On the other end, your Sport's transfer case will not bolt the 5.0 Ex's 4R70W transmission without a conversion kit from Advance Adapters.
Wish you had post pictures & how to on the many things you did.
I'm getting parts out of the Explorer to swap into my 2006 4dr.
So far: P/S Leather Limited, center console, over head lite with message center, duel sun visors w/ mirrors, Mazda pickup bed w/ camper topper ( have tail light ? posted ).
Thought about a 5.0, but guess no go huh?
