- 01 Explorer Sport
Hi, I have a 2001 Explorer sport, 2wd, manual trans with the 4.0 SOHC. I replaced timing chains, guides, and tensioners and I believe the cam gear slipped and bent valves so I am scrapping that motor. I have an ongoing thread about it here http://explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=278364
Well on to the point. I am looking at a 2006 Mustang 4.0 SOHC with 60,000 miles to swap in that I can get for a good deal. I am aware I have to swap intakes, valve covers, wiring harness, possibly fuel rail, and some front accessories which is not a problem. My concern at this point is about the camshafts. I have seen mentioned before this swap may need some pcm tuning due to possibly camshaft differences?? I havent found a definitive answer yet so I was wondering if there is any new information or if anyone can confirm they had a success with this swap?
It is my belief that the cams could not be that different (if at all) that the mass air pcm couldnt just compensate and run like a champ. Thats what I hope anyway.
Is there anything else I am overlooking that could be a problem or should I just go ahead and get it this Saturday?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Brian
