Went to the J/Y and grabbed 1 driveshaft, a V8 Explorer fan, and a V8 Explorer water pump pulley. Lathe time to fabricate a W/P pulley was wasted. Yes, that is annoying.
The radiator I decided on is for a 1995+ Explorer. They are a bit bigger than the HD 4.0 1992-1994 Explorer, but not as wide as a V8 Explorer. It should have no problem with the 5.0L. I fabricated lower mounts from U channel, and utilized two square holes in the core support for upper mounting. The lower hose nipple is uncomfortably close to the steering box. I'm looking for a hose that drops down and then up to the W/P.
Clearance between fan and radiator is enough that fan can be removed without hitting the radiator.
Remote filter adapter is a Hayden 291. I'm going to double-clamp all the connections and carry spare hose.
