I have a 87 BII, 2" body lift, stock 2.9, (92) Explorer M50D, 8.8, D28.
So, I have a 97 Explorer 2wd (SOHC 4.0) sitting in my driveway, that needs a timing chain. I also have a 92 Explorer 4x4 (OHV 4.0) I bought for donor parts.
I saw that the SOHC 4.0 has 207 HP, vs OHV 4.0 with 160 hp.
I plan to swap into my 87 BII one of these 4.0's
I saw one thread that described roughly a succesful SOHC 4.0 Swap, and I am interested in this direction, over the other.
Any one know if there are any big issues with a 97 SOHC 4.0 swap into a 87 BII with a 2.9, and (92) Explorer M50D ?
Is there a detailed swap write up anywhere that you might know of?
This is a daily driver, and I need to prep as much as posible before I launch into a swap. Thanks for all responses!
