[Mike Hill 3]

I got my hands on a 2000 5.0 and my ST was built in March of 2000. Might do it not sure yet

Good luck, you'd be the first documented case of a 5.0L in a ST. I know it's doable, as when I was shopping for used Explorers for my daughter, I looked at several with 5.0's. The engine is tight, but really not much worse than the 4.0L.

You saying mike's ST isn't nice, Todd? LOL, j/k.

Interesting, I didn't think Ford made the 5.0 (302) since around the mid 90's? Where did the motor come from?

 

[Keith McElroy]

I had a 302 in a 1997 Mountaineer.

I think all the way up to the 2001 model year you could get a 5.0L in a Explorer/Mountaineer.

Be sure to check you local laws and regulations about this swap.



Even though your ST was built in March of 2000, it is considered a 2001 Model Year, and many states do not allow you to mount emission control devices, or engines, with a model year older then the vehicle it is going in. Just something to think about, as if that's the case, you may not be able to get the vehicle registered, insured, or pass inspection/emissions afterwards.

Tiger: It would pass in Oklahoma since we have no Inspection/Emission requirements and no annual checks.
