Tha's one thing that is going to be more available now is the Explorer short front dress along with the intake system and engine wiring. It is a real shame to see some of what is going.

Im sry but do you know anything about this program or how they kill the motors? the scrap yard owners do have anything to do with the liquid glass. that is do at a dealership and the dealers wont let them leave till the motors are trashed. so no matter what the motor is going ot have the shit in it.

i know exactly how it works. i know how they kill the motors, however, for whatever reason, we have a running 4.0 out of a CFC vehilcle. i think it may be different in canada...

The '97' Explorer may or not have the GT-40 heads, they switched mid year. If you want to use the 2000 wiring and computer, you are going to add the PAT's module and corresponding key transponder. Why not use the '97' Explorer wiring and computer? It really doesn't care which fuel system you run.
Dave

I am wrong with what I said. The '97' will work with the returnless system but not the way it should. The different computers supposidly have different fuel tables. Always best to use a computer designed for which every fuel system you have. In your case might be easier to go with the '97' and convert to a return system. Sounds like you have access to several different motors.

You did say you broke a 3/4" socket trying to turn the motor, how locked up do you think the heads are going to be? Scrap them all and don't look back, save the good stuff.

It's in your user control panel as to which group you want to join.
