I didn't bother mentioning that because even if the bellhousings where identical, it still wouldn't work due to machanical limitations. For Sale: 1997 Explorer XLT V8 AWD

The only way around this is to create a .70866" solid billet "shim" to place between the crank & flywheel ... NO THANKS! For Sale: 1997 Explorer XLT V8 AWD
