Engine swap

Asked by 03explorer Sep 28, 2017 at 04:26 PM

Question type: General

Will a 5.0 out of a 1996 explorer go in place of a
4.6 out of a 2003 explorer?

1 Answer

Not a good idea. The engine controls will not work with the older engine and your car will never pass smog inspection again if you do the swap.
