SOCH before 2001 on Ranger

Hi

I always read that SOHC introduced into the Ranger in 2001... This engine came from 1997 (Explorer). But can there be some rare Ford Ranger models 1998 with SOHC?
The thing is i m going to buy one. Seller says there is injected 204 h.p 1998 Ranger and that year like there was carb engine with 160 h.p and inj 204 h.p..and he have 204 h.p... But it should be 152-160 h.p. this way... The problem there is not to many variations (i live not in USA) and if i want chek it i have to ride 400 miles by my boring mitsubishi with no soul))
Sorry for my eanglish)

Have the seller send you some photos of the engine. Much easier than driving there.

Where are you located?
The last year for a carbed motor in a Ranger was somewhere around 1985 so your seller is out to lunch.

OHV EFI 4.0 V-6 160hp 91-2000?

SOHC EFI 4.0 V-6 207hp 98?-2011

I would opt for the OHV 4.0 in the earlier year models (they overlap), problems were common with early SOHCs.

No, the two engines never overlapped. (At least, not in the Ranger. Both engines were available simultaneously for a few years in the Explorer.)
Ranger:
4.0 OHV 1990-2000
4.0 SOHC 2001-2011

The 4.0 OHV was NEVER carbed. I think the seller just doesn't know what he's talking about. Wouldn't be the first time...

Yup, I was thinking of Explorers, you never know which 4.0 you will see in those from 97-2000.

Yes, last carbed V-6 Ranger was in 1985, 2.8 V-6.
