1994 V6 XLT 4X4
Hello to everyone!
I have a 1994 ford explorer v6 xlt 4x4 in very good shape with out modifications yet. I just put bfg all terrain tires and I was really surprised how the vehicle worked on off road in a couple of steep roads nothing really hard. I used to owned a little 4x4 pickup toyota and did some seriuos 4x4 off roading, those things are spiders. So after taking my explorer couple of times, now Im wanting to do some modifications to it. I want to put a ford 250 power stroke diesel engine and so the axles, suspention and everything to make it posible. Im thinking in a very reliable ford midsize suv with heavy duty componenets for abuse not necesary rock crawling but something where go can really exlplore and take the family maybe towing something. A really offroad vehicle for mud, sand, some rock crawling etc. The suv that ford should build but never did!

welcome aboard
 






did you say you wanna put a powerstroke in your ex?! thats awesome, theres no way you could fit the 7.3 in there. that thing is huge
 






Are you positive

Maybe you are right! I dont know for sure but the space for the engine seems very wide to fit the power stroke. Do you have any suggestions of other diesel engines perhaps smaller?
 






well, there is the 7.3 powerstroke which was the best. then there was the newer ones, theres a 6.0 and another one, but ive heard bad things about that 6.0
 












i just looked it up. i had never heard of it before. its a twin turbo and makes 200hp and 440foot lb of torque. i imagine you could stick it in there with a lot of fabrication to mount it, i dont know what you could do about the transmission
