raining so hard I cant get to it quite yet

can any one tell me if the gen 1 is a non interference or interference type

 

[rod denton]

thanks rich i will get some pics when I tear into it





any one ever do a coyoteor engine swap what size if so what challenges did you bump into



nline:

I think the 4.0L is an interference type.

The easyest motor swap is the earlier 5.0L from the merc-mountaneer. Same frame and motor bay as the gen1 trac.

Any of the new modulars are too wide.

Since your Trac is a Job 1 the 5.0 windsor swap would be easier than a new 5.0 modular coyote. A few wiring differences in the C110, C139 connectors, the Tach ground wire needs swapped, and since your Job 1 is PATS B, the 99-01 Explorer/Mountaineer would be the the easiest choice, since it also PATS B.

PATS B what is this

 

[chad keene]

PATS is Ford's Anti-Theft solution to keep someone from starting and driving off your vehicle without the correct coded ignition key to your vehicle.



The early 2001 Sport Trac Job 1 has PATS B like the Explorer, the late 2001 Sport Trac Job 2 has PATS E, which makes the Job 1 a simpler swap. No having to rewire for Pats B, or having to disable Pats, just swap over the PATS module, the ignition tumbler, and key from the Explorer. Or you could just have Ford program your existing Trac keys to work.



The early 2001 Sport Trac Job 1 also uses the ABS module as the VSS signal source like the 99-01 Explorer, where the late 2001 Sport Trac Job 2 used the PCM.



That makes the early 2001 Sport Trac Job 1 the easier candidate for the 5.0 swap using the Explorer 99-01 5.0.
