Even in the Explorer, this engine came with several performance carryovers from the early '90s Mustang 302. This is essentially the same engine that came in the hallowed Fox body Ford Mustang of the late '80s and early '90s. Also powering the later Explorers (starting with the 1995 model) was the tried and true small-block multi-port fuel-injected Windsor-based 302 or 5.0L V-8. To start, the base engine for these trucks is the venerable 4.0-liter V-6, an engine that is a potent package for its displacement and was available with both manual and automatic transmissions as well as two-speed transfer cases (both a few manual shift T-cases and electronically shifted versions). While these vehicles' utility as family-friendly SUVs is undeniable, they also have several characteristics that make them appealing as a base for an off-road vehicle build.
