5.0 swaps

[FluffyE]

Looking for some advice, current 1999 4.0 ext. cab 4x4. Found a 1998 mercury mountaineer 5.0. After looking through all the write ups that I can find, is there anything different from a mercury than a explorer of the same year??

It’s spelled differently.

Ok thanks, just trying to make sure mercury didn’t have anything wacky with the wiring or anything.

A Mercury was just a conceited Ford, a Lincoln is a conceited Ford with a weight problem.

I like the intake plates better.

Usually Explorer ones read "Explorer V8", Mercury usually has "5.0 V8" which I think is nicer because Explorer V8's are rarely swapped into an Explorer.
