engine swap
I have a question maybe yall can help me with. I have a 2002 explorer with a 4.6 v-8 in it, but it has a broken time chain tensioner, and I also have a 1996 f-150 with a 4.9 straight six. The truck is totaled out.
The question is sence the 4.9 and trans is good in the f-150 How hard would it be to put the 4.9 in the 2002 explorer? How difficult would that be? would anything match up or would I have to change everything (motor, trans, and computer).
oh and by the way the explorer is 4X4 and the f 150 is not.
thank you all for the help and if you could I would appreciate all website i could get to help with this swap

Not a practical swap. The truck will require surgery to fit the longish 4.9.
Nothing electrical will work.
You will have to fabricate many parts. Nothing will match up.
Do some horse trading and get yourself another 4.6.

hello are you sure the 4.9L electrical would have to be total redone because the 4.9 I have is a 1996 OBDII I know the trans is the same model even thew I may have to change the belt housing. the fabricating to get the 4.9 in the explorer isnot that big of a challenge to me

I can understand how you would ask that question, but the exporer has a 4.0 and would have to pull motor to change timing because its the one in back and the 4.9 I have is to strong modified motor and I think in the explore 4x4 would be extremely fun with the independent suspention and the light weight
