Well first off, would it be possible to drop in the new 4.6 liter engine like in the new Explorer and the Tremor? I know you guys are probably sick of hearing about dropping in engines and what all fits and everything but I just couldnt help myself :D And if this could be dropped in, what all modifications would have to be made to the engine compartment, exhaust, fuel line, driveline, computer, 4wd, and all that complicated stuff. Thanks for your help guys,

Anything is possible if u got the money. But if your most people u can forget about dropping a 4.6 because it is wider then a 460 and taller then a 302 because of the cam being on top of the head. You would need to widen the front end and do a lot of custom work. It would be much easier to swap a 302 since there are people that have done this in rangers and a couple explorers and there are kits.

One minus with the 4.6 from what I've heard is you can't get any extra horsepower out of them like a 5.0. They do start with good numbers but you just don't get the gains out of em like you can for less money on a 5.0.
