This question relates to a separate stroker build post but I wanted to know if anyone had a clear, definitive answer on this one question as I am struggling to get clarity on it:
Can I retrofit a 2002 4.0 block with a distributor instead of the coil pack? I'm looking to use that '02 motor in my 1999 (suitably converted in terms of accessories etc). Is there any reason why an '02 block wouldn't work with a distributor in place of the coil packs? All the wiring and ECU etc is setup for a distributor right now and I don't want to change all that. I'm wondering here if it is as simple as removed the 02 camshaft position sensor that sits in the hole, fitting a '99 position sensor (which is a totally different type of sensor) and fitting a new distributor.
Cheers
