The only difference between the 1997 Mountaineer and the 1997 Explorer is the center grille section, the rest will be exactly the same. Some Mounty's had the painted bumpers/trim as shown below and such, but so did some Ex's- that you would have to look for if needed, but fitment is the same.

what grills can i use? i need a center grill insert. ? thanks for the help joe.
is there a list of interchangeable years and parts?

The only center grille option is an after market billit grill in which case you will need a 1998 and up hood latch. The factory grille is one piece (other that the turn light housing trim pieces)

Any 1995-2001 4 door Explorer grill will work or 1995-1999 Sport grille. For the bumper you can use one from any 1995-1998 Explorer.

2000 Sport grille also- they didn't change until 2001...

But yeah- what Dan said...

Also- just so you're familiar, HERE is the grille removal procedure.

Lastly, in case the question comes up after you find one, the Newer Mountianeer grille:

...will only work if you replace the entire header panel behind it, the whole assembly is different, not a straight swap.
