5.0 OHV in a 00' GT

TheLubracano · November 6th, 2008, 12:07 PM

I know that this isnt the new edge mustang forum, but no one seems to have any answers. How can I put a OHV engine (302, 351) in a 00' Gt and get by state emisson standards? I have seen a few of the swaps done, but they havent gone into getting through emissions. Any ideas?

you cant unless you get it from something 2000 or newer. and i dont think 5.0s came in anything other then maybe boats 2000 and up

Pistons23 · November 6th, 2008, 03:29 PM

the explorer came with a 5.0 up to 2001. i know here in california the motor has to have been offered in the same type of vehicle. i think it was only offered in the exlporer so i dont think theres any way to make it legal.

mxnate116 · November 6th, 2008, 08:13 PM

i stand corrected.

i think you can still use it as long as you retain ALL the emissions components

The biggest question is whether Arizona allows putting a truck engine in a car - if they do, swapping over an Explorer 5.0 from 2000 or later and keeping all its emissions components should be smog legal. You'll need to check with the emissions inspectors if this is allowed. I know it's not permitted in California, but Arizona may be different.

what hes saying is that 5.0 are push rod motors (even in 01) not OHV

DiZzyBonne · November 7th, 2008, 08:35 PM

A little off top, but isn't a pushrod and an OHV engine the same thing?

I had to read the first post twice.. cause I thought he said OHC at first

BoostFiend · November 7th, 2008, 09:10 PM

Not to play devils advocate but why would you want to?

Sleeper_Stang_89 · November 7th, 2008, 09:21 PM

Wait... is the OP talking about a pushrod motor?

fairlane_68 · November 7th, 2008, 09:31 PM

If you could get it to meet the same emissions test standards for a 4.6L Mustang, I don't see how it would be a problem, or you could register it as a special purpose vehicle.
