I have an opportunity to pick up a 1998 5.0 "all wheel drive" (??) Explorer with a bad engine, otherwise intact. I have available a 93 5.0 from a Mustang, along with an AO4D tranny ( needs computer control) from a '94 Mustang... Is this donor Explorer the right candidate to swap the 5.0 into my 2.3L 5 speed 1997 Ranger? I have not been using the AOD tranny, and do not have the harness/CPU to control the AOD. I currently have a T-5 mated to the 94 5.0. I'm guessing I will be able to use all of the motor mts, accessories, etc from the Explorer with this swap...How challenging will it be to install the T-5 into my '97 ? Any thoughts..?
