    Anyone ever seen a conversion using 96-98 Explorer/Mountaineer parts? How hard would it be? This would give alot better performance with coils for each cylinder I assume

    if you go with a stnd alone system like AEM or Megasquirt that will allow you to use a crank trigger its not hard at all. there is a whole forum on corral devoted to aftermarket tuning and this is covered quite a bit.

    It can be done. This is an 87 but I have no details on it, just had the pics in my Mustang Engine file.

    Nope but I got them off a thread on here from a year and a half ago.

    IIRC the explorers don't use individual coil packs. They use two like the 4.6 cars do. One for each bank.
