Want this question answered?
No , both the 3.0 and 4.0 liter Over Head Valve ( OHV ) engines used in a 1996 Ford Aerostar use ( 1 ) timing CHAIN
The Ford 4.0 liter OHV ( pushrod ) V6 engine has ( 1 ) timing chain
There is just ( 1 ) timing chain on the 4.0 liter OHV engine used in a 1992 Ford Aerostar In 1997 Ford started using the 4.0 liter SOHC engine in some of their vehicles that has ( 3 ) timing chains
You dont if its fuel injected. They all use the TFI system and no adjustment is available .
No it won't. The 2 engines have different bolt patterns on the rear. It's possible the dowel pins will line up, but several of the bolts don't. Sorry! Mike Bell
I am going to say probably not. The reasons are involved than just whether it is rear wheel drive or not. I am sure the bellhousing patterns are different, it would have to be a V6 and I am not aware of any rear wheel drive wagon that had either a 3.0 or a 4.0 which is what the Aerostar came with. The only rear wheel drive wagon that had a V6 I can think of was the old LTDII wagon which had a 3.8 liter. The other issue is the biggest. The 98 Aerostar had an electronic controlled tranny. Any wagon with a V6 would have been built long before an electronic tranny was used. You stand a better chance of using a Ranger transmission, than a wagon or sedan.
On a 1994 Ford Aerostar , 3.0 liter V6 and 4.0 liter V6 : 3 - 6 2 - 5 1 - 4 front of Ford Aerostar
( there are 6 engine cylinders ) for the 1994 Ford Aerostar 3.0 liter V6 engine

That year did not have a EST/ electronic spark timing connector. The timing is controlled by the PCM / Powertrain Controll Module. It requires a engine scanner to ajust the timing. You can not use a timing light.
it does not have a timing belt, it is a chain drive which should be good for the life of the car
The 4.7 liter has a timing belt and the 5.7 liter has a timing chain
