Hey everyone, i want to do a 5.0 swap at some point soon in my 99 and there's an 01 mountaineer at the local junkyard i can pick some stuff off of. I don't really have any desire to pull a motor at the junkyard nor do i have the space at the house right now. However being a 99 i do have a returnless fuel system so i wanna grab the fuel lines, intake manifold/fuel rail, pcm and wire
so that I'm ready at a later date. I'm also turned off by the gt40p heads not accepting a variety of headers and the whole plug wire situation (heard it can be a nightmare with headers), and would almost be inclined to just get a decent set of aluminum heads when i am ready to swap-so the Explorer engine having the good heads wouldn't really benefit me.
I'm curious if any old 5.0 will then accept the Explorer intake and if the motor mount brackets will bolt on to said block.
if it is too much of a hassle i may end up just grabbing the whole engine at the junkyard. Who knows lol
