Default explorer motor

i was going to put a 351w into my 95 mustang but the guy backed out on that deal. now i have the opportunity to get an explorer motor. i was wanting to know if the bottem end that i have would work better that the explorer block or are they the same. i know that they have gt-40 heads and intake. i was going to put them on my car right away, so i could rebuilt the new motor. are the pistons the same? what are the horsepower ratings on the explorer motor? thanks for any help.
