I have a 1995 aero with 4 wheel drive and a 4 liter. Lent it out and the engine was run without coolant . Pretty sure the head gaskets are blown. I found a replacement 4 liter from a 92 explorer and wondered if it would swap in. Will the bolt pattern match, computer, mounts,etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
I would think it would be easier to rebuild the engine you have now. The head gaskets can be done without removing the engine. It is a lot of work, but so is and engine swap. That being said, there is a sticky on the top page that walks you through pulling the engine from the front.
Yes, the '92 engine will be the same, you may have to swap manifolds, and some other stuff off your old engine, but the block and head is the same.
