Ford powered Nissan
I've got some info from the newer F150 and Explorer forums, and now I am looking for a general yea or neigh on this project.
I am planning to swap an OBDII equipped 302/5.0L out of a 96-01 Explorer into my 2004 Nissan Xterra. The X is manual with a 2.4L 4 cylinder. I want to use a ZF 5 speed transmission with attached transfer case. I will be using the Explorer engine harness and ECM for the engine.
Good idea or bad?

I could think of a bunch of better engine donor options than a 5.0 v8 that barely wheezes out 220hp This is the 21'st century. Put an LS in that sucker like any well adjusted human being
By swapping in a 5.0 you're basically recreating a $1500 ford exploder from the 90's. Hardly worth the trouble of a swap

Any other ideas, besides the LS or the 5.0 that has a readily available manual 4x4 trans and is OBDII compliant?
