As far as pistons travel, what type pistons? A 2000 explorer motor vs. a 87-92 mustang block. also anyone know of a good place to find engine specs, that are detailed for a 2000 exlporer engine?
Is the Explorer block and Mustang block the same?

If you can get a good 2000 explorer engine, for a decent price, i would take it. The block and the piston travel are the same, not sure if it has the 93 pistons or not.
But the prices at least by me, are significantly more for a used explorer motor. Also keep in mind, you'll need the entire accessory setup from an 87-93.

Oh kool becaues i have the entire engine with the Gt40p heads too and i want to swap out the Cam in it and wasnt sure if i would have any problems with the valves hitting the pistons2000xp8 said:
When you swap the cam, relace the gear on the distributor or get a distributor from a roller cam engine. The Explorer used a cast iron flat tappet cam and a cast iron distributor gear. The roller cams are steel and use a steel distributor gear.
Oh good point! Ive recently bought a distributor for a 88 GT which i think it has the steel gear, ( i remember it was brought up at the auto parts store) I am almost positive it was steel.jrichker said:
The explorer, does not have a distributer. And the factory explorer cam specs are different from a mustang. (worse).
Here's a pic of the engine on my explorer, you can see the coil pack on the side of the supercharger. Don't be mistaken, this engine is a 5.0 .
