No, you cannot do this swap without major modification. The motor will not physically fit in the engine bay with the current front suspension set-up.

Anything is possible with enough money, but you could probably buy an 07 before you could feasibly do this swap. If you want a V8 look for a 96-01 Explorer with the 5.0L. It's actually possible and would be pretty straightforward and easy.

The transmission is completely different, the motor engine bay and sizing is different...



IT is a great idea, but you will wind up cutting the heck out of the old ST to get it to work...
