V8 swap would it be worth it over all?

[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 816641, member: 56140"] Ironically enough, this is the same person that said a rear disk could not be done. Anyways, sometimes it is just hard to justify replacing a perfectly good working engine. If I were in the financial position to do so, I would pick up a 2001 ST and do a V8 swap. Having a rolling chassis with the engine, drivetrain, and electronics would be the only way to go. How different the electronics between the instrumentation and the engine harness is could be an issue. Looking at my 2000 Explorer and my 2002 Trac, they are almost identical. My brother is considering pulling his 4.0L OHV engine with a 4.0L SOHC engine. If he decides to do that, I will talk him into using a V8 instead. Tom [/QUOTE]
