I wouldn't mess with a 5.0 personally, either rebuild yours or find a explorer 4.6. Had a friend that did the swap with a vortech and 04 Gt 5 speed. It ran 11.6-11.7s all day on mickeys.

Not to jack the thread. But what is the difference BTW the explorer 4.6 and his mustang 4.6.

Your motor is right around 215hp or so. If you do get a new 4.6, make sure you get PI 4.6. Better heads and intake.

I say just rebuild yours and do a PI swap on it. That will net you a good amount of power. More then a 5.0 would give you unless you do h/c/I on that as well.

Pretty sure its the same block. The only lighter block I know of that's a 4.6 is the teskid block, and those didn't come in explorers.
