I'm thinking of replacing the stock 5.0 v8 in my X with a new engine:
http://www.oemfordparts.com/PartDetail.asp?S=1&PartID=585&SubCategoryID=10
It's a Ford Racing Crate Engine, with the E303 cam and GT40heads. They claim it is good for 345hp.
Questions:
- Has anyone used this engine - comments?
- What is the warranty like on something like this?
- Will it be a giant "bolt on" - or will custom fab be needed for engine mounts and the transmission?
- Will explorer front accessories bolt on, as well as the intake manifold?
- How will it preform will stock explorer engine componenets: Such as intake, fuel injection, TB, MAS, and EEC-V?
Thanks,
Aaron
