yup, sure do. im pretty sure i remember hearing about a mail truck that was based on a 2wd explorer with a FFV 4.0 and i also know that a guy i work with has an explorer with a FFV 4.0

For 2000, Ford also made their 4.0L SOHC engine found in the Explorer FFV capable and introduced it in the re-designed United States Postal Service delivery truck, which was based on a Ford Explorer chassis and powertrain in 2000 and 2001. Ford later extended this FFV powertrain to the consumer market with the E85 FFV Ford Explorer and Explorer Sport Trac, but phased it out with the new Explorer re-design in 2006.

id assume that it would be pretty straight forward as any other 4.0 swap. the real issue is that ALL of the FFV equipment (fuel tank, lines, filters, computer + wiring, blah blah blah...) needs to be swapped in as well. on top of all that, finding one will be difficult, and finding one for cheap will be nearly imposable.

Would i have to change everything since i was taking out a Flex Fuel motor???
