it will all work, but the block may need to be tapped for the roller cam.

If you swap the heads and cam, make sure he checks piston to valve clearance, especially if the Lincoln doesn't have relief cuts in the piston tops. Remember the pistons, rods an crank will be weaker. I nice upgrade is the mid to late 90's explorer. gt or gtp heads an better intake. Just use the gt's cam an valve springs.
