Have tried to do some reading best I can and it seems like the 00 explorer would be a perfect contender for the swap.. also the leftover parts will be nice in my beater 4.0 explorer.

My starting vehicle is an extended cab short bed 95 ranger auto 2wd. I plan on doing the v8 swap, haven't decided on if I'm going to 4x4 swap it while I'm at it. My plan is to long travel and lock the rear as a baby trophy truck.

The explorer got rolled at 2mph off their driveway. Low mileage 4x4 Eddie bauer, not sure if awd or high/low (it's 2 hrs away and I will be looking at it Wednesday if it is a good fit)

Will this donor give me what I need? What else will I need to do the swap? Thanks

seems like advanced makes a good motor mount that requires no welding as well as a few other options on summit as well as oil filter relocation.
