Yes it would require some type of 5.0 to first get motor mount to make it fit in place.

There are a few things you need to look at as well. Headers will be very important. and I will have to say you would not have the room for a 5.8 steering and a few other things would be in the way.

Cut and trim to make room.

Cut and trim the steering box?

Moving parts are things you really cant cut. You do know I look for the simplest route possible. Chris listens to me and look how well his junk turned out.

This is true....

How about we cut off the front of a second gen and slap it on Randall's rig....

Ugh, 2nd gen?

Looks like we're a go?

So what other parts would I need, and what year explorer motor should I look for?

I was just thinking that when I do my d60 swap, there will be coil-over towers and a cross bar entering into the engine bay, which I may not want to re-do to fit around a different motor. Meaning, maybe I should do this first/concurrently?

Looks like now is the time to get with Kris since he's planning a 5.0 in a first gen.

I thought that that was what I am doing with this thread, hahaha.

Looks like some other 'necessary' parts include:

Aluminum Radiator $395





Electric Fan $140



Temperature switch for fan $44.50

Oil Pan $199



Motor Mounts $199

Torque Monster Headers $789

Well, Advanced Adapters says that the Ford Small Block/700r4 kit won't work with a 351W due to "The torque converter could not be moved forward off the pump the required distance per adapter kit instructions." I don't feel like swapping trannies after what I have in this 700r4, not to mention that I would have to change out the input shaft of the Atlas if I changed transmissions - that or get a different intermediary, such as a Black Box, to mate the Atlas to a different trans. So it looks like you guys are off the hook and I'll just be doing a 5.0L.

Am I gonna be the only one with a stock 4.0?

Well, that is still 4 liters more than Russell's.



Also, I think Kris's main offroad rig is the white one, which isn't getting the 5.0, if I remember correctly. I can't keep up.

Also #2, I may have some Borla Headers for you when I get that far.

Well isn't that sweet of you glad I didnt decide to put what I really wanted to

My mama always told me if I didn't have anything nice to say to not say it at all.

Since when did you start listening to mama?

Where'a my nf shirt?

Paypal me $65 + $195 shipping and I'll get that right out to you.
