Hi everyone! I am new to engine swapping bigger vehicles. (I am used to bikes more so, but I know trucks enough to get me by).
Has anyone else done the 2000+ swap? With full EFi, AC, and gauges working?
YouTube videos, eBay/Purchase links will all be helpful. Along with any Advice from the 5.0 swap Veterans.
I have the entire Explorer. I bought it running and driving. $500. Transmission was starting to slip (leaking out of the tranny pan. Ended up buying the rebuild kit and a new converter for it to rebuild it, then sell for a M5ORD-R2 out of an F-150)
So I have all the wiring and pieces I need. I know the computer will need to be tuned, I have a guy picked out to tune PATs out, along with all the fancy power windows and locks. To make it work for my truck.
I have both factory service manuals, along with every wiring diagram book Ford made for the two vehicles.
ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME!
Thanks!!
