Hey guys,
I have a line on a totaled 97 Expo with a well taken care of 5.0 in it for $400.
The truck is a 97 2wd 5speed.
I have a question and or a little clarity before I pull the trigger on picking it up.
I already have an M5OD-R2 to take care of the manual wants of this swap and an F150 flywheel and clutch kit.
Along with the standard mods and parts to pick up, headers, motor mounts, and a programer and tune.
With them both being OBD2, I should be able to completely swap the explorer engine harness and computer and they should integrate into the ranger body harness correct? Its my understanding that I will need to re-pin some of the connectors to merge the two harnesses but that it is do-able right?
Once the two are merged it should fire up like factory?
