Gotta get me four doors. Now that I'm getting married the future wifey wants to start making the babies. Since windstars SUCK and escorts have no balls, explorer it is!
What year explorer should I keep an eye out for if I want a 5.0 engine to build on, with 4x4, leather seats, and an auto tranny?
(Specifically, what years can I get that combo with, and then what years have a better interior or trans if applicable?)
I already know that 1997+ explorers should have the GT40 heads. And I know that 2nd gen Explorers came with either the 4R55E or 4R70W but I don't know which ones or what is better.
It would be receiving some minor modifications, nothing for the suspension. I'd aim for around 300HP. Still haven't researched how far out that goal is though. IIRC these motors push around 215HP stock.
