What years are compatible?
Just took my brothers explorer after the knucklehead seized the motor and I'm wondering what years are compatible with 2000.
Also what size socket do I use so i can pull the front seats it looks like the kid threw a garbage bag in there and rolled the thing over a cliff
Any and all help is appreciated

Generally speaking, 1995-2001 Explorers are the same, they are the "Gen 2" models. This depends however on engine type, drivetrain type, and so forth.
Engine wise, 1998-2001 will be identical, as well as 95-97 versions.
There were some minor changes between the 97 and 98 years, looks and engine changes to be specific.

actually 95-97's could have used 2 different 4.0L engines - the newer 4 was first used in the 97, and this was the year that ford phased out the original 4 OHV
but, that is a good question to add to his - can you use either in any of the Gen2 explorers? also how about the V8?
I need new heads for my 4.0L OHV - and it would be the same cost to just do an engine replacement from the boneyard - so, I'm wondering.... Love to shoehorn a V8 in there... :-)

Would like the v8 but I don't have all the tools to modify the mounts.

So basically it boils down to this. If you have the SOHC, you'll be looking for a '97-'01 4.0 SOHC. '02+ SOHC's might also work, I'm not sure. You might consider having the timing chain tensioners updated before you install the engine.
If you have the OHV, you'll be looking for a '95 to ?? OHV.
