Also, are the explorer motors harder to install? Isn't the intake facing the passenger side, and cant be switched?
The Explorer motor is good for FAR more HP on your budget. No problemo flipping the intake.

The only place its more work with the Explorer engine is you need to use the timing cover and oil pan from your car (or from any other panther). Intake is an if. It will spin, thats not an issue, but whether or not its got EGR is the trick. If you don't have emissions, and don't really care, simply plug in one of those EGR eliminator plugs if you end up with an intake that doesn't have EgR provision. Other option is to just leave the vacuum line unplugged for it, and the ecm will trip an egr error and not operate the system. It will have a slight economy impact but wont really do too much.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
