Engine Gone....Need a replacement
ON the road and after 6 hours of driving at 192,000 my 2005 XLT 2.3l spun a rod bearing. SO im in the market searching for a new engine. Can I go bigger with direct bolt ons? Or is it much better just sticking with the same 2.3l? And if so could I go with a newer year rather than the same 2005? Perhaps a 2009-2011? What sites sell lower miled engones? Rebuilt engines? Thanks for the all your help:)

Re: Engine Gone....Need a replacement
So craigslist and carparts are gonna have the other info I needed. I checked and no info there. Just engines at carparts
|
I'd look for any model year newer with fewer miles. Up to 11 should work

No one else has said it yet so... 5.0 swap, just need a few aftermarket parts and custom wiring ;)

It is a Ford V8 and is easiest taken from Explorers. However the latest they were made was 2001 so if your area has inspections of any sort you would not be able to have your truck pass.
Donor trucks are usually $500 - $1000 and parting them out you can make the extra money for the other needed parts. With your truck, a 4.0 is a better (legal) choice, get one out of a 05 or newer (again, donor truck helps - find a totalled one) and for that you'll need the ecu, engine, tranny, wiring, and maybe a little bit more |

Probably should stick with a Duratec. Then it's just a matter of unplugging all the wires, pulling the motor and plugging the wires into the new motor. Try to find a 2005 first though.
