Certainly not one in that bodystyle, with that engine. |

Yeah, V8s where it's at. What do you guys think of those GT66s? I for one dig em. |

#5, "Yeah, V8s where it's at."
Not necessarily, but I'm not touching that 4.0 SOHC piece of Explorer surplus crap. |

Heck if I know. I'll stick with my 4.2, at any rate. |

#10, It's got larger external dimensions, another one of those plastic intake manifolds that worked so well on the '96-98 4.6L V8s that are still being recalled, a head design that puts one of the timing chains (I think they're chains, anyway) at the back of the engine where it's impossible to get at, some nice non-flowing heads with even crappier valves than the 3.8/4.2 pieces, another Swiss cheese cooling port design*, and internals of questionable strength.
Thus, I reiterate: I'm not touching it.
*this, by the way, was the design flaw that caused so many pre-'96 3.8s to fail--lots of coolant ports going into the deck. The 4.0 has nearly as many coolant ports as the early 3.8s, which drives suspicion that it is not a good choice for a forced induction application. |

#12, Oh, and stock, it sounds worse than the 3.8. This is a feat which I did not previously consider possible. |
