I wouldn't try it, 2.9's love to heat grenade. But it should fit the frame mounts due to standardized parts.


Why no just hang the AT radiator out of a 4.0 explorer if desperate? The trans cooler would just hang out inside and the thing is massive.

Trans is having issues now (M50D) so gonna rebuild shifter and if that doesn't work im gonna say screw it, but would that require any mods? I do plan on a 4.0 swap if i keep it
