the SEARCH function is your best friend. Its all been discussed, also go to the tech section from the home page and find the 5.0L swap pages.

Yes, use the Search function and the Tech Library.
I beleive the 5.0 is the best bet, from an Explorer or Mountaineer. The 4.6 is too wide to make it doable without serious amounts of work I think is what I've heard

Still got questions? Go with the Explorer for the ease.

An Explorer 5.0 is as plug-and-play as they come, at least for OBD-II trucks like yours. I have yet to see ANYONE with a 4.6 in anything but a Gen 1 Ranger... Lots of people talk up a good game but I have yet to see a single person pull it off... Allegedly there is a twin-turbo 5.4 Ranger floating around, but when I asked the guy for pictures he quit talking to me. So odds are its non-existent. Stick with the Explorer 5.0.. and the search button. Everything you need is already in the library.

GregR did it with the 4.6 and it did take some work.
