I am putting a 04 Explorer Flex Fuel 4.0 SOHC motor with 16K miles on it, into my '99 3.0l truck.
I started out with a 4.0 SOHC Non EGR out of a 03 Ranger, but the block turned out to be un-rebuildable. (I already had the heads rebuilt when I found out about the block.) Nothing from the Explorer motor will work in the Ranger except the long block. I am thinking of putting everything from the 03 motor onto the 04 motor and using a 03 ECM.
Now the questions: Are the 04 Flex Fuel cams different enough to not be able to run w/o EGR?
Secondly, where would one find the cam profile info of these motors?
The Second Option would be to install the rebuilt heads onto this 04 block along with the 03 Cams. This is a lot of work I am trying to side step.
