Koo thanks. Furthe question, know of any good stroker kits for this motor? I need something forged all the way that won't burn oil.

you can't stroke it. The 4.0 motor (OHV and SOHC) in the Explorers is based on the Ford 2.9 v6. They are just bored and stroked out versions of the 2.9 with some obvious changed to go from a pushrod to OHC setup.

Just FYI there actually is a stoker kit for it. its not really a stoker so much as its a whole new motor... and it's $3700. I'm not even sure its for teh SOHC, it looks like its the OHV. http://www.moranav6racing.com/

Naw. It's not for an Exploder. I just knew they had an OHC motor in some of the newer ones. Wanna do something nuts. 99-up V6 Mustang with twins, but I was hoping to stroke the 4.0 to 4.2. I'm a big fan of OHC motors, and the 3.8 is not too bad, but I'd prefer the SOHC 6 instead.

Need a new project once the Cobra finds a new home.
