Not the exact same. I will have to check more, but from what I understand, different intake manifold design. So, a aftermarket SC for a 4.0L Mustang will not bolt directly to a Sport Trac.

Let me do a little more research and get back to ya'..

Edit Add - What year and what are you thinking about doing????

It does indeed have a different intake manifold design- similiar but the bolt pattern and modulated electronic hook-ups would require some moodification. Depends on your skill and what you want to do.

I would reach out to Dave@Explorer Express. He specializes in after market suspension and performance parts for the Explorer. Talking with him, he specifically mentioned the Sport Trac.

http://explorerexpresscom.nationprotect.net/index.shtml

Doug@Bamachips has also developed tunes for that car as well.

http://www.bamachips.com/store/inde...8_3_29&zenid=eb0e3b0eb94a60f8df551ab6717447c4

He knows his stuff. He can tune out the throttle lag. NA, his tune shaved off 3/10ths off my other tunes, and that was before he mastered his race tune with the new auto parameters.

Hope this helps.

Unless you intend on drag racing, the working theory is to just run the OEM parts until they break ...

its muy cheaper compadre.
