How much horsepower do these engines have?
97 ford explorer engine 5.0. And is it a vortec?
Vortec's are GM products. I would say probably 200.
Cars.com says 211hp @ 4600RPM / 274lb-ft torque @ 3200RPM.
I think it's generally a 5L mustang engine, but with a restrictive intake and exhaust.
I had that engine in a '97 Exploder and I was quite fond of it. Nice, torquey power band and plenty of getup for that little SUV.
And no, it isn't a Vortec. The Vortec was a GM exclusive engine designation as far as I'm aware.
This is a Windsor engine not Vortex
Vortex is a Chevrolet engine that came out in the 1985 model year 4.3 L V6
FORD EXPLORE Second generation (1995-2001)
Ford Windsor 5.0 L OHV V-8
Model years1996-2001
Power (SAE net)210 hp (157 kW)
Torque (SAE net)280 ft·lbf (380 N·m)
In early 1997, the 5.0 L V-8 received new cylinder heads (GT-40P series), which upped power to 215 hp (160 kW).
Officially it has 215 HP. But many suspect that it was underrated, The Explorer 302's are pretty desirable due to their GT-40P heads.
It would not be Vortec engine as Vortec is a branding term that GM uses with some of it's engines.

- How much do one of these Red neck Monster pick up trucks cost? (That see every day flying by me on the interstate)? Huge wheels/ tires on them.

Why? WHAT ARE PROBABLY THEIR TASTES IN POLITICS, MUSIC, ETC? WHY?
- I have a 2005 Ford Focus and whenever I start the engine or accelerate the engines moves Just as above the engine moves noticeably up and forward in the engine bay, I haven't noticed any unusual vibrations or clunking, could this be the lower motor/torque mount, or is this normal for this car?
