Engine conversion

Is it possible to put a mustang engine into a ford ranger?
(I'm new at the whole auto thing if you couldn't already tell)

Welcome to FTE!!!

The most common swap is the 5.0 swap into the Ranger, check out our swap forum if you don't get more infomation here.

Depends what you want.

The 3.8L is possible, but has basically been described by the handful of swappers as "torture"....

The 5.0L is obviously doable.

The 4.6L....well, not trying to start a debate, but it has a lot of "logistical" issues and even if it sat comfortably, fully accessorized between the rails, that's only part of the pain there....no one has finished that swap yet, and it's not for lack of trying, either.
