ok after reading all that then why does the explorer run such a low hp. i was told that the explorer motor will only put down 220. i am getting a motor from an explorer and was planing on using the block, but not if its only going to run those numbers. any thoughts

the explorer isnt setup the same as the mustang. it's not setup for all out HP. It's more setup for torque so you can tow things.
