FM146 tranny bolt to 4.0L?

Yes it's the same bellhousing as the 2.9L. However, the difference in power from a 2.9L to a 4.0L might kill it. If you're going to be swapping in a FM146, I'd just get an M5OD from an Explorer. It's a much stronger tranny and will also bolt up to the 4.0L.

- If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.
bad idea, don't do it.
If you baby it, it may last a while but be on the look out for an M5OD.

as a second vehicle or a trail truck, it would probably be okay for a while. i wouldnt depend on it as a daily driver though.
