Hi I have a 2001 explorer sport 2wd it has a 4.0L sohc I was told that a 5.0L v8 out of a older explorer would fit I would have to use all of the older explorer stuff to make it work. Is what I am wondering is will the current transmission bolt up if not what could I do for a transmission?

Use everything from an 01ish v8 Exploder. Tranny, engine harness, pats and key.....

 

Thanks for the info however I was told since my explorer is 2wd that a trans from a v8 explorer wont work because they all were awd explorers. Is what I am wondering is if the trans behind my 4.0L will bolt up ta a 5.0L and if not what could I use for a trans. Thanks again Jason
