Well spun a bearing in my 99 GT and decided to go for an explorer motor since the stang is my daily driver and I drive atleast 70 miles daily, I've been researching this a lot the past few days but I have a few questions unanswered maybe someone can help here's what I've compiled so far:
I apprecaite any info, thanks.
- I know I can use a 02-03 4.6L but what about the 2004?
- The GT and Explorer oil pans and oil pick-ups are different and need to be swapped out. You will also need to use the GT oil filter housing on the Explorer motor.
- I can use my t45 trans but I'll need to get a 6 bolt flywheel because the explorer motors have a 6 bolt crankshaft
- All my aftermarket parts should bolt right on (pulleys, prochamber, fipk intake)
- Also I read somewhere about a large line of explorer engines that weren't balanced and there's a way to tell whether or not they were but I forget where I saw that
I apprecaite any info, thanks.
