Nor was there ever a 4.2L in a Mustang, but that block from an F-150 will fit, and so will all our externals from the 3.8L fit onto that block.
I said that I just read about it before I looked here, so shove off. I never said that the Explorer had a 3.8L, only that the timing chain cover would fit.
I went back and tried to find the article I read, but I don't have the time to sit here and argue with over the Internet, so go look for yourself.
One tries to help someone out, and then they run into the likes of a smart@$$.

Explorers do not have the 4.2L if that is what you are trying to imply. They do have a 4.0L, but that is entirely different engine family. That cover will not work on a 3.8.
I take responsibility to give accurate information... my moto is if I don't know it for sure, don't post it. That is how bad info gets spread around the internet. So if you don't know for a fact, don't guess.
I know 4.2's and 3.8's. I was one of the first people to have a centrifical supercharged 3.8 and one of the first to ever do a 4.2 and on top of that with split port heads on a 94-98. I designed the first modified fuel rail for a split port swap in a return fuel system car. I'm not some GT guy acting like I know it all. I've paid my dues, learned on my own, and didn't have all the information that is available now. I was one of the ones that experienced it and made the accurate information available.
You are no help if your information is wrong...

That's all I said, and now you have blown it into my saying that an explorer has a 3.8L engine, then a 4.2L engine. Where are reading this from?

Good for you, someone has to do it.

And you have yet to provve me wrong.
And no, I don't have a problem with admitting I'm wrong or being corrected, but you definitely have a burning desire to get the last word in though.

What do I need to do? List the available engines for the Explorer since it was developed?
You are wrong. How about you prove you are right... the burden of proof is on you, kid. You are the one making incorrect statements. Just because you "read" it, doesn't make it fact. The fact I have hands on experience with 3.8 and 4.2 engines and know them inside and out make me far more an authority of the truth than you "read it somewhere".

But you didn't say that you had experience with the 4.0L engine.
I don't need to prove anything, as you are the one getting all hot under the collar about this.
BTW, that's not me in that pic, it is just a pic I found somewhere. I just thought it appropriate.
I'm hardly a kid anymore, kid.
