I picked up a 98 explorer for the wife with a bum motor. It has the gt40p heads and an external EGR. When I look up motors I get prod. time differences. And of course this truck is 8/98. I haven't called the dealer yet to get the exact build date. But my question is can I get away with using a 97 5.0L from an explorer. I found a smoking deal on one. But not sure if the 97's have the p heads or external egr's.
5.0L (VIN P, 8th digit), thru 1/22/98
5.0L (VIN P, 8th digit), from 1/23/98 thru 8/9/98
5.0L (VIN P, 8th digit), from 8/10/98
Those are the options when searching for a motor.
