Hey guys. I briefly went over the long page that listed V8 swaps and what all was going into it. From what I understand I have the easiest truck that can do it? I'm looking for the absolute cheapest way to do it... Money isn't a huge issue, but this isn't my main driver. This is just an old sentimental truck I've always had and want to get my hands wet putting a V8 into it.
It's a 4.0 4x4 Manual transmission. And Im going to try and find a wrecked Explorer AWD with a V8 in it... Figured this would be the cheapest route? From what I understand I can take the automatic transmission and engine off the explorer and practically plug and play. I'm sure there's more to it then that... But guess the biggest questions I have is if going to the automatic transmission what's the consensus people use as far as what's goes over the stick shift hole and what not lol... And the exhaust stuff evidently I have to have some custom work done on that for it to fit? Pretty common for shops to do that? And what is a rough pricing on that.
