please can anyone tell me does the 4.0 still have hole for distibutor eg can i put a 2.9 distributor into it or is it diffrent as im in uk i not seen 4.0 v6 block not in production over here not sure if its a case of fitting the 4.0 loom etc thanks in advance for any help you can give

 

i dont think it would work because the cam gears would be diffrent or atleast i beleive they should be

 

i no oil pump normally run off same drive as the disributor do they replace this with a dummy shaft on the 4.0 i would like to see a pic of the 4.0 /line drawing of the internals so i can see the differances as im not much good with electrics ig distributor less wiring but ok with the mech side of things one again thanks for responce

 

i got a 4.0 in my ranger i havent ever had to tear it apart yet so i dont really know myself i'm used to workin on chevrolets i'm the second person in my imediate family to ever buy a ford lol so its kind of a new process to me the firing order comes in to play too the 2.8 might have a diffrent firing order you just have to toy around with it look for a microphish site it'll show the entire schematics for the engine i havent ever hunted for one but you can probly find one

 

thanks for your help i will try to find a microphish page also my frend say he thinks wiring simple so i look in to that to just dont want to purches 4.0 ship to the uk and not fitt it lol i no i can strip it and build 3.5 using a 2.9 block but that sounds like another mission lol thanks again blue4.0 i will let you no on what i do if i manage to get a distributor into the 4.0 or if i just go for the electrics thanks

 

ok good luck and have fun
