Hi. I have a 98 B400 4x4 Xcab. I know where there is a low mileage 1993 351 AOD 4x4 that rolled once. It starts and you can drive it. I am thinking about throwing the whole engine and trans in my B4000. Question is: will the out put shaft on the 98 AOD line up with the front drive line on my truck? Is it on the same side?
If anyone has done this please email me with the do's and dont's

Thanks

Mike

 

that would be a fast and furious mazda! Good luck

 

Mike do a search on V8 conversions here on FTE Ranger section. You will find alot of info already exists on this.
Personally , IMO your opening a can of worms trying to stuff the fullsize setup into the ranger. Especially into the 4X4 frame.
Email me and I'll give you more info to checkout.
P.S.: Welcome to FTE!

 

i wounder if any one has ever put a PSD into a ranger or b serise? that would be a sweet combo. the only problem would be how to keep the rear wheels on the ground.

 

I thought about that 4 cyl cummins but the cost would be insane. My 4.0 is just so doggy. Even thinking about putting a M90 Eaton supercharger on it.

 

The bigger problem would be having a diesel engine in the cab and living with that.

Though, with such a heavy front end, I can see the rears not staying grounded.

As for the OP and a 93 engine in a 98 truck, I would not do it. Stick with an OBD2 engine in that 98 truck. Like from a 98 HD truck. That 351 would fit, with little more work than a 302.

 

Good thought....is that the 4.6 based v8? I hear you have to eliminate the ac box on the firewall....I like my ac. that would be the 5.4 triton?
