I just wanna know if it'll fit an older Ranger, like oh I dunno, say my '94.

That's a very interesting subject. The only way to see would be to try it out. The dealership won't tell you, "Hey, if you want some extra juice...." It doesn't happen that way. Then again, in my experience, they haven't been all that knowledgeable either.

All in favor of RangerPilot trying it out first say "I"
I!!!
Haha, I'd try it, but I have a problem in that I don't have a 4.0, but a measly 2.5

4.0
The 4.0 version, although produced in Cologne like the others, was only fitted to American vehicles. The pushrod OHV engine was produced until 2000 and was used in the Ford Explorer. Output was 160 hp (119 kW) and 225 ft·lbf (305 N·m).
Applications:
Ford Ranger/Mazda B-Series
Ford Explorer/Mazda Navajo
Cross Lander 244X
SOHC
A somewhat-related SOHC version was introduced for the 1997 Explorer alongside the pushrod. The SOHC version is the last Cologne engine still in production, though it will be phased out in 2007 in favor of the new Cyclone. It featured a variable length intake manifold and was good for 205 hp and 245 ft.lbf. Ford Power Products sells this engine as the SOHC-640.
I found this on a website. I wasn't sure if the "variable length intake was what the ranger used or not. Hope this helps.
