lil 4x4

I have a small ranger p.u. that happens to be a 4x4 0r a all wheel drive. Anyway I like to swap the lil engine,for a built 302/351 engine with about 350 h.p. Its a standard 5 speed now. But trying to get real,and keep some of the sudden pressure off the drive train. mostlikey I will use a automatic trans. out of a large bronco 4x4. I was told its done a lot. Do rangers holdup ok,to the V8.

I don't get what you mean about keeping "sudden pressure off the drivetrain" since you will be using the whole V8 drivetrain and nothing from the Ranger as it is.

The truck will hold up withsome modding.

i think he is talking about when shifting with a manual it will give sudden jerks on the drivetrain that can break parts.
