I have a 2006 deluxe convertible with a 5 speed manual transmission.
The 4.0 is at about 196000 miles, although still running good but I'd rather get ahead if an issue if possible.
My question is 2 fold.
1) Is the 4.0 found in the mustang different than those found in Explorers? Is the setup the same as in a mustang? Is not what is different or unique with either motor?
2) please don't flame me (too badly) but would I be better off with a coyote swap for the money?
Mustang 4.0 engines seem to be fewer in number than the average v8.......
Even reman/rebuilt 4.0 are more expensive than the equivalent v8.
Thanks in advance for the (semi)flame free advice and comments.
