Ford Aerostar Originally conceived as an answer to the first Chrysler minivans, the Aerostar is an old school rear-drive van that's at its best when it's harnessed for hard work. It can haul--and tow--heavier loads than the front-drive crowd, and gets the job done with a fair degree of comfort and style.

Default 4.0L SOHC and manual swap?
Hey, I was wondering if it's possible to put the newer 4.0L SOHC Cologne V6 in the Aerostar with the M5OD-R1HD manual transmission (used by the Ranger) without too much difficulty. Anyone know? Oh yeah and also, are there limited-slip differentials that can be installed?

I have a 07 Mustang with the 4.0 SOHC with a 5sp, it does look wider, would have to measure it out to see if it would clear the sides of the engine bay and the dog house.

I do not know how but it is possible to fit 5.0 V8 in aero. May be with some welding and cutting 4.0 SOHC fits aero too. I try to imagine nightmare of spark plugs change in tinny doghouse of aerostar with 4.0SOHC..... was a real problem with my ranger
