Hey guys, as you may recall I consulted this forum and the ExplorerForum for info regarding the 302 swap in my 02 Gen1. Well the good news is I have a running v8 Gen1! The bad news being I'm a student in college and didn't realize that this was going to cost nearly as much as it did when it was all said and done.... I also moved back in with my mom and drive to school and work 25 miles one way, and the truck hasn't proven itself extremely reliable yet (still working out bugs from the swap). That being said, I'll list it here and see what kind of interest I get. I've got a google drive with pictures in it of my truck, not too many but I can take more. My number is 7708550282 if you want to text or call and leave a message about it. Here's some info I've got:
Gen1 2002 Oxford White 2WD Sport Trac, 302 swapped
Donor was a 99 Explorer with 223k on the motor, did some work before the install
Bored 30 over, new pistons/rings
New plugs, new seals on valve covers, intake upper and lower, thermostat, water pump
New water pump and thermostat
4r70w trans with new tail housing and extended driveshaft (still 2WD), no issues
2nd cats cut off, dual exhaust with DI/DO Flowmaster and no resonator
Front disc, back drum brakes with G-Force sensor for speedo operation
Explorer PCM, ABS module
AC works and held good vacuum when filled after swap
33" BFGs on Cragars
New sway bar links for lift
New shocks on all 4 corners
New fuel pump (Airtex) and filter
10000 pound Curt Hitch
3" PA body lift
Pioneer Radio
Sideview mirrors swapped with puddle lights
LED's all around
Painted interior panels (black/white like Lono100's truck)
Much more.....
Known issues - Oil pan gasket leak near rear main (not the rear main itself because that was replaced by shop when motor was out for R&R), oil pressure gauge spun around in cluster due to possible bad send unit, mismatched valve covers, no fan shroud because it wouldn't fit given the 1/4" clearance between rad and fan
Starts right up and sounds good pretty good for a swap truck, works like OEM minus the "Jewel" key, have to use explorer key for PATS. Shoot me offers if interested, I have over 15k in the truck which is ridiculous and I know I'll get nowhere near that, but I'd like to hear offers. Also comes with bed extender and stock rims/centercaps with worn Cooper STT tires. Good truck that needs a new home to someone who has time/money to take care of it. I have school to pay for and credit card debt that needs to go away, and a Gen2 4x4 v8 that needs a little lift and some vent visors.
Thanks guys.
