The ex's run 3 shocks on the axle. The third one is in the center and keep the pinion from rocking up.
FWIW, i had my wrecked 98 5.0 delivered for 650.
Hit a curb ripped the front wheel off bent the frame after the control arms. Also busted the rack.
YMMV

Last I remember hearing is in Ontario it is Illegal to put a motor older then your vehicle (ex. 1998 motor in a 1999 truck). I may or maybe not be correct on this one just make sure the government will pass a safety on before you go and do all this work.

All 5.0 V8 Explorers got the GT-40P heads. Which are different from the GT-40 head. The P head has the spark plugs coming out at a different angle, which requires special headers.
I'm pretty sure the GT-40 heads only came on 93-95 Cobra's and some crate motors.
GT-40P heads can be ID'd by the "GTP" on the head.
Flow rates for various heads

due to some dead batteries i could not take pictures
but i could not see any raised markings on the heads
but there is a big V with a #8 in between the V
and a raised oil fill neck
if that is any info
( they also have a couple of generation 3 rangers )

I plan on trying to find a similar motor and do plan to stick to efi, i dont know what the misistry will do, as long as the motor is efi and so is my truck it shouldnt matter what year it is, i was told by going to a v8 in the ranger it automatically puts me in a hot rod category for the etest,
Well see i guess, all in time, and go from there

you had better double-check on that idea
i am pretty sure that ontario emission laws state that the replacement engine must be the same year or newer
( the same cubic inch size ,,i am not sure about )

i will stop in and ask
when i down there next week
if anyone is interested ,, you would be better off buying the engine/tranny/trans-case combo
together
he would probably give a better deal that way

okay. i stopped by the wrecker today
the owner says he will sell the engine / tranny / trans-case for $1000.00 dollars
he will need 1 day to remove the combo for you
( he requires atleast a down payment 1st )
this explorer also has the lift struts attached to the hood hinges
( never seen that before on any explorer )
