Welcome to this forum! You could buy an entire drivetrain from a junkyard, and swap it in.

Is it as easy as that? How about the computer? When you go for emission? Wouldn't the computer show that you have a V6 but got a V8?

x factor, it is as easy as that if you have a gen II truck
for a Gen I truck there is alot to be planned
I did a 93 4.0L auto 4x4 to 97.5 5.0L auto 4x4 conversion in my 88 BII, check my signature
This question is asked on here about every week, try searching around!!

This swap has been done a number of different ways. and almost all of the ones shown here on ExplorerForums are even SMOG legal.
There are a few other sites to check out too...
www.therangerstation.com that is a Ford Ranger Community, very similar to us here @ EF, but they specialize in just the Ranger, which our Explorers are based on.
www.rangerpowersports.com very similar to therangerstation, same concept, but they are more geared towards the 'street' community, and the racing community.
