hmmm well I should find a tranny a tcase from the same vehicle with hydro clutch in it.That should work

I think I will do the v8......lol . I am looking at a remanufactured 302 HO.
So if I get the running gear under My b2 from the 95 Eploder I will be a couple of steps closer to the engine swap.I also found a 1988 F150 with a 4 speed granny tranny and transfer case.....would it be possible to use these?

I have thought of usuing the 4.0 How much more power does it have?If Iam gonna do all this I want more power....lol. But the 4.0 has 175k on it so I dont think I would use it.

Hey Guys, I am still researching my v8 swap and found a 1995 explorer sport 4.0 that I can get very cheap. Will the front and rear ends work for me with the v8? I am not sure what is under the 95 and its about an hour away to go take a look at. Is it worth my time to go check it out?Would be buying ...

and im sure i will pick the answer that causes me to bleed the most!

Im a patient man.......lol But if I do decide to do this.....Im sure I will pester you guys to death with questions

lol...well at this point Im just happy it cranks.Hmmm so maybe one of you guys would like to do the swap for me?I will load all the parts i will need in the back......load her on a rollback and send it to ya!

Im glad you are having good luck with your 2.9. I have gotten 210,000 miles out of mine.....and had to replace nearly everything but the block...lol.It has left me stuck on the side of the road from Oklahoma to the mountains here in North Carolina. Its time for a new powerplant....or a new vehicle ...

Well......Im not looking for better mileage.I want more power lol
Im tired of having to pick my feet up to get up a hill.If it was possible to get more power out of the 2.9 I would do that. I love the B2 but its just underpowered. Now I have to decide if I am up to doing the v8 swap

ok....thanks for the replies...i have alot to consider.If i decide to go ahead with this i am sure i will have alot more questions!!
I am leaning towards the swap so I will be asking alot more questions.If i do the swap I would want to have as much of what i need on hand before i start.
Thanks!!

ok.....so if i have the engine...tranny and axles ready to go...should i lift the body? hmmm maybe i should ask how much this is gonna cost me..lol i can get the engine...long block for about 1500 bucks....so i would need axles, tranny and i would guess computer and wiring harness from a v8 ...

I have a 1989 302 out of an econoline, but it is junk....would use it for a core for a rebuilt engine .just put a jasper rebuilt in my f 150 about 6 months ago and would probably do the same with this one. Aout tranny would be fine.I do have the 5 speed now......would it stand the tourque from the ...

Thanks for the reply...... Yep I will also be driving it on the trail..... I live in the mtns of western North Carolina, hehe I need 4wd to get up my driveway. I have had the b2 since 1990....and really dont want to get rid of it. But if I am going to spent any more money on her....I dont see ...

Hey Guys I have 90 model B2 with 210 k miles on her.At about 175k had to put new heads on the 2.9 liter as they cracked. The 2.9 is tired...as she should be. I have always wanted to swap in a v8 and now I have to decide if I want to tackle it. So I really could use some advise on the swap.This is an ...
