If you found a M5 trans that came out of an Explorer, it is an M5R1 and it will not bolt up to your V8. There were no V8 Explorers that came with manual transmissions. The M5R2 was only in pickups...and full size Broncos. Is that what you have, I assume so?
I procured and M5R2 for a stock Explorer engine yesterday here in TN, 90k miles, its like new!
