I would change to the normal dual sump pan. The Explorers came with two different pans, a cast alum one and a stamped steel one. Doing a late model swap either one works in a 4x4 but only the stamped one works with the coil spring suspension. You may luck out depending on motor placement.

thanks man i have the stamped steel pan so i think im gunna try and use it, see how it goes do you have a mass air mustang computer that came with an automatic trans by chance, im converting it over to mustang wiring and ignition.
i have started on swaping a 98 exploder 5.0 into my 90 ranger 4x4 my question is do i still need to find a different oil pan or will the explorer one work? i also bought the v-8 ranger swap kit out of jegs and it says its for a 2 wheel drive will the motor mounts and headers still work? and also when i was comparing radiators the exploder one was a good bit bigger you think a guy should make it fit along with the motor? any other helpfull hints and advice is greatly appreciated!
