The 4.0 if properly serviced is a pretty good engine.

Ford 4.0L SOHC well know lots of timing chain issues. Ford issued a TSB for the timing rattle problem and released a redesigned “‘cassette”‘ (the timing chain, gears, guide and tensioner assembly) for the left front timing chain. Do this on any replacement engine 2004 4.0 SOHC
If you purchase a reman engine, specifying the year of manufacture, it will be a drop in. If you obtain a 4.0 from another vehicle, besides needing to take other items along with the engine, you will require a PCM update.
I don't think the 4.0 SOHC is entitled to be called "pretty good" at any level of maintenance. It has major design flaws not the least of which is the incredibly stupid timing chain set-up. I have a hole in my block now and it really sucks. My best bet to evidently replace it with what I can. Why is it that 8 of 9 Fords I have owned have died suddenly from either big engine problems or the tranny giving out. I don't drive hard and I maintain better than most dealers will. I'm thinking that although I love buying american that my next car will be Japanese.

I have a 96’ Eddie Bauer AWD 5.0L Explorer and I want to know what other motors are compatible for transmission and wiring with more miles to the gallon and maybe (only if possible) more/quicker response time! But again I would like something that would bolt right up to my original transmission and wiring but if I need to I know how to make it work just need best opinions and suggestions!!! Thanks

I have a 2005 ford explorer with a 4liter v6. i overheated it and now i have a blown motor. can i take a 4.6 v8 from a 2004 and install it in my 2005
Not without a whole bunch of work and electronic re working. It can be done but it’s not going to be easy. Now if you live where emissions testing is required then it won’t pass.
