I have a quick question: Are the two wheel drive and four wheel drive motor mounts the same on our trucks? I was given a Ford 5.0 V8 motor this weekend and am looking into an engine swap. I found the bolt-on motor mounts for the swap, but they seem to be for 4x4's. I just wanted to make sure that the holes on the frame would line up before calling to order. Thanks for the help.
Thanks guys. I'm not really looking to make a hot-rod, I just want some more power to get up the hills and to tow my pop-up trailer. We have the Eisenhower Tunnel here in Colorado and the huge hill to climb to get up to it. I wasn't planning on an engine swap as I like the truck and how well balanced it is. Everything seems well engineered to work together. But the opportunity came up and I couldn't resist. The plan is to do an 8.8 rear diff swap from an Explorer (something I planned to do all along for the brakes and such.) and swap in the 5.0 motor and a T5 tranny from a Mustang. It'll be a long time just gathering parts and rebuilding everything before I'm ready to install, but when I do, I'll make a build thread. Thanks again and I'll probably be asking a bunch of odd questions as this rolls along.
