Not if the doner is a pre PATS Explorer ('96 or '97).last question for now... do I have to change the steering column also?
I didn't rethink my post last night. Obd2 is a much better system to work with. Obd 2 also has less emissions equipment. You have to meet the inspection and emissions requirements for the 96+ 5.0 explorer to get your swap approved. This may be the biggest obstacle the O. P. faces.I can tell you're not speaking from experience on this. With this setup i can have this engine running in a riding lawnmower with only 5 wires from one plug hooked up the mustang has muliple plugs, a wider and longer FEAD, and half the amperage output of the alternator (65A vs 130A)...

Way to go! Start by documenting the build with a ton of pics, lol. I'd start by making sure you have everything you need. Then tear down the explorer. Seriously though, pics, part numbers, everything. You never know how much these type of threads help people out.ok ...SCORED!!!! 97 EXP running 302 w/3.73 body shot to hell.. $300.... where do i start... tearing apart the donor veh first or the 86?
