[QUOTE="Brad Bottoms, post: 658229, member: 63261"] A V8 swap would be very easy actually. You just have to make sure to have the right donor vehicle. ;) In particular, you need a 96-01 4 door Explorer with a 5.0 V8. With this motor, pretty much everything is bolt up. Everything from the back of the cab on a sport trac to the front of the frame is the same as a 4 door explorer (96-01). If you find a wrecked one, it should have everything you need. Everything should be bolt on, even the computer is in the same location so all you have to do is swap the engine/tranny harnesses. If you get a get a 99-01, even the emissions stuff should be the same and plug right up. The only thing you'll need is a driveshaft since the Trac has a longer wheel base. This is a far better (and probably cheaper) option then pulling a 5.0 out of something else and trying to make it fit. [/QUOTE]
