Ive been lurking around here for a while, and now i FINALLY have run into an issue with my engine swap, and i feel it may (hopefully not) cause me a problem.
To start, my '94 has finally given up on me, the engine in it has less than 10k on it, and the #5 cylinder split open in the bore.
Today i picked up a complete engine from a early '96 explorer,
(039,616.3 are the miles on the odometer) for 350.00 from the local salvage yard, i heard the engine run, and runs great. Got it home and on the stand for some strip down and paint, well i notice there is no distributor!!!!!!! will this pose a problem??
the only thing i want to do with this engine is put my X cam in it, and cruise, i also want to keep the intake on it as well.
Can anyone tell me what is going to have to be done to make this work in my car?? If it wont work, i will sell the 3 bar heads and intake to recoup my money and continue looking.
Thanks in advance for the help.
