Mazda M5OD transmission Reply #11 – August 21, 2009, 02:48:01 PM The 4.0 Explorer tranny will not bolt onto a 5.0. The 4.0 is a "Cologne" V6 engine with a different bell housing than the Windsor V8.If you can't find a 5.0 T5 you might find a 2.3 T5 and installing a 5.0 bellhousing. Many people say they won't stand up to a 5.0, but lots of people say they will as long as you keep the engine "mild", and you're probably more likely to find a 2.3 in Asia or even Europe than you would a 5.0.
