motor swap question

Jul 30, 2006 2 Replies

I have a 99' ford explorer with a 4.0 v6, how hard is it to swap the motor out for a v8, found a local one at a junkyard (it's a 98 with



65,000 on it). Do I need a different tranny, radiator, exhaust, etc?

This will be a labour of love.... Engine, trans, most likely transfer case if a 4X4, exhaust, radiator, PCM, wiring harnesses, front springs, probably driveshafts, exhaust system.... You'd be further ahead to sell what you have and look for what you want...
