Hi there,

I'm sorry to say I do not own an Explorer. The reason I joined this forum is because I have another FORD and am looking for information about an engine/ auto transplant.

I drive a European Ford Granada 2.6 V6.
Lovely drive, but engine is not the quickest and auto is getting tired (and it's a 3-speed).

So, in my explorations, I found that the cologne V6's should be interchangable. At least, the european 2.9 will bolt right in.

I'd rather have a 4.0, but most people tell me that it differs too much (longer, higher, wider).

Question: Is this a fact? Or am I right in saying that the only differce is that the headers are higher for the longer stroke? If the total engine is higher, that shouldn't be a problem.

I'll be browsing, but thanx in advance for your replies!

Best regards,

Martijn
