The problem is finding a 2wd 5.0 explorer anywhere.. so im gonna have to buy the parts seperate. So I need the motor with accesories, 2wd 5.0 computer and pays with matchin key, and 2wd explorer tranny. Anything else? My rad is in real good shape. I heard a rad from a 3.0 is too small for a 5.0. Is this true? Why dont I need an oil filter relocater?

Be safe and buy a radiator

Do I really need an oil filter relocater?

I didn't need one. I cut the tab off of it and turned it to where it fit and would still filter oil then just tightened down the screw. Hasn't moved in over a year

Thanks for the reply. Do you think my front woul d sag more withe the v8? I have f rated torsion bars. Kinda weird since I have the c rated leafs. Fords are confusing..

Its not that much weight difference to make it sag
