    I have a 95 302 5.0 already machined and ready to be put together i will sell and you could have a rebuilt engine for about the same money

    [quote look for s 95-97 v8 Explorer. it will have the standard Gt40 heads. the 98-00 will have the P heads and be more difficult for headers to spark plug clearance. ][/quote]

    I wanted to add that some late 97s will have the P heads ... it was a mid-year change, so be careful.

    I would imagine any 302 JY motor will be high mileage...so if you aren't planning a rebuild, it will be a crap shoot...

    (my '05 LSX, 10K motor...$600)

    I paid $250 for a 5.0 long block with tin, balancer, distributor, flexplate and timing cover. It would have run but it was ready for a rebuild.

    I used the block, crank, and rods-junked the rest.

    I bought an '89 E250 van for $300 and drove it 50 miles home(y). EFI 351w/ c6. Don't really care for the efi and the c6 is overkill for a Maverick. But the engine runs good and vans make good storage buildings:rolleyes:.

    I paid $300 for a rolled 94 Bronco that had a roller 5.0 and MAF. After I sold what was good, scrapped the turd and even gave my dad the aluminum wheels I was ahead $200 and had a 92k mile engine for the Mav.
