Engine swap ideas
My 02 XLT 4.0 SOHC is comming real close to 200,000 miles, and i am itching to get a new powerplant in her.
I am torn between a 5.0 or a 4bt
I dont really know what im getting into when it comes to labor extent, cost, and headaches for either and was hoping that i could get some opinions on which would be the smarter route.

Either way with explorers already set up with 5 Liters plus all the support they have I'm sure the 5.0 would be much cheaper. Plus a lot cheaper to get factory/aftermarket parts for? Although the little diesel would turn a lot of heads and be pretty sweet when it was complete.
I don't know about there but here you would be able to BAR it and make it smog legal if you use an explorer 5.0 since it comes out of a truck also. Not sure if it would have to come out of the newer ones or not?
