The 4.0L V6 used in Explorer SUVs from Ford is a powerful motor. Lovers of vintage 6-cylinder motors will agree that engineering was near-perfect. The very first installation was the OHV model in the mid 1990s. While this only lasted for a year or two, people still try to find this block online. At Auto Pros USA, a full range of Ford Explorer 4.0L engine SOHC for sale inventory is listed here.
Specs of the 4.0L V6
The pushrod overhead valve was the main block until 1997. Ford Motor Company had planned major improvements for its Explorer. A single overhead cam model was produced as the Cologne replacement. Differences in the blocks were small, but were noticeable in terms of power. A modified intake manifold improved the horsepower available.
The Cologne V6 was rated only for 160 hp. The improvements to air intake allowed an improvement to 210 hp in the SOHC edition. Both Mazda and Ford automobiles made good use of the revised builds. The third generation of manufactured is when the 4.6-liter edition was phased into production.
The transmissions were also different in the 4.0 Explorer blocks. A four-speed automatic was the primary model until the five-speed manual was added. People who buy a used Explorer V6 engine should be aware of these differences. It can be hard to make a determination just by looking at stock photos.
