As long as the donor expo is a 4.0L SOHC, yes it'll bolt right up.
I am about ready to do this mod, but on my truck I've got an extra one wire connector....something the '02 expo I'm taking the alt from doesn't have. Still gotta figure that one out.
It's as hard as replacing an alternator(4 bolts).

I think all explorers have 130a alts... mounting points are different between the different engines...

Yes, that looks like an SOHC alternator.
the "Black back" steel cover.
The 130amp used on the OHV engine is longer and is all alumnum.
MOST OHV's have 95A alternators, but there was a 130a used 1993-up.
The OHV alt won't fit the SOHC (valve cover clearance issue)

I dont know about any 93+... BUT When my 95amp died on my 3.0, looked one up for a 95 explorer V8 (130amp). It fit no problem, and was the same price, and no more dimming lights at idle...
