V8 swap would it be worth it over all?

[QUOTE="Dan Long, post: 816656, member: 65387"] With the extra torque and horsepower available through minor bolt-ons and tuning, plus the option of stroking the motor if you really want to go all out, I beg to differ..... Not to mention the reliability of these motors when modded, compared to the ticking time bomb and lackluster performance of a forced induction 4.0. Unfortunately, I sold the Explorer a few months ago. The problem was that the truck was worth too much money to me, so I was going to have to swap the 5.0 in to the ST, and the 4.0 back into the Explorer. So I was essentially going to be doing 2 swaps. I'm going to start keeping my eyes open for a good deal on a wrecked 2wd 5.0 Explorer so that it can be scrapped after I get the parts I need from it... Believe me though, I will have plenty of pics and notes if I get the opportunity to tackle this. [/QUOTE]
