A9L with 98 exployer 5.0l

GORDO · 02-02-2007, 12:39 PM

what issues would there be if i was to run a 98 exployer 5.0 with a A9L and 90 mustang harness. the motor isnt being used in the exployer, it is going to be a swap project.
i have been told that for it to run properly i will need to us a tunner. just looking for more info from other sources. the motor is stock just like it was in the exployer.

Ok you are taking the 5.0 out of the explorer and installing it some where else using a harness from a 90 mustang and using a a9l right? If so I don't see a problem other than the cams having a different firing order.

I thought only 5.0s in the mustang had the H.O. firing order. Correct me if wrong.

There are other things to consider too. The injectors maybe the EV1 style which use a different connector. The 98 Explorer also uses EDIS which means you will need a distributor. You can use the EDIS if you would like but you would definatley need a tuner and an EDIS8 module.

Also the entire pully setup is different. It is inset toward the motor about 3/4 inch. This was because of the tight fit in the explorer.
