Default Engine Change

How complicated, and should it even be done, to change the v6 in a 99
EddieBauer Explorer to a 302 or other V8 engine. Can the existing
transmission be reused? Engine Mounts? Wiring? I'm just not happy with the
performance of the V6.

Lift (and properly support) the radiator cap, and install another
Explorer with desired engine under it.
Lower radiator cap.
This is the easiest and least expensive way to do this.
Trust me.
