- 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
Hey,
I have a 2003 Mountaineer with roughly 130,000 on it. I am looking in the next year to swap out the current 245 engine for either a 302 or a 351. I was curious to see whether the 351 with the higher deck height would fit in the engine bay, or would I have to stick with the 302 as it was an engine that came with Explorers and Mountaineers before. I am not looking to get rid of my truck as I just recently replaced the entire front and rear ends (expect shocks) an have kept the car in excellent condition. Any suggestions? I have a few 351 blocks laying around and access to a 302 engine.
