I have a 1993 ford ranger with a 4.0L and want to put a 4.2L in it. Can anyone tell me if it will fit with out any major modifications.

the 4.2 from the f150 family?
and what is the point of switching it? 4.0 seems pretty good
or if yours is F$$#ed up you could use an Exploder 4.0
or there has been tons of research done on 5.0 swaps
... I dont know that anyone has really had a reason to put a 4.2
in so I'm betting that it would have to be custom fab parts and custom install.

The 4.0 SOHC in Rangers and Explorers is probably a better motor than the 4.2 engine.
