99 sport
Alright...so here's the deal. I have a 99 Explorer Sport with the 4.0 OHV with a 5 speed. My wrist pin is bad in my first cyl OR my crank shaft is starting to wear on the bushings with results in a rattling annoying ass noise. And the motor has 119K miles on it already, which would make it virtually a waste of time to pull it completly apart just to fix that. Soo... as much of a pain it will be to do...i'm pulling the motor and dropping in a new one.

My question to you guys is... What motors will be an easy swap other than obviously a OHV from a 99...? What years/models of Fords will fit? Whether it be a mustang...ranger....explorer...etc. Please help me out here.

I'm looking to keep all but the motor original...5 speed trans...etc.

Thanks guys.
