5.0 Ranger Conversion
Hi everyone,
I'm doing some research on doing a 5.0 conversion on my 4.0 Ranger. Basically, I just want some opinions as far as the work I will have to under-take. Please see my list of questions and help me to answer them to the best of your knowledge. As you read the questions, you might think they are stupid questions. I appreciate your answers and opinions anyway for I have never done this conversion on a Ranger. Thank you in advance.

- My Ranger is a 99. Does that mean I have to put in a 99 5.0 motor in it? Or can it be 99 and newer?
- I've been told that if I find a 99 Explorer with a 5.0, it will be a perfect doner car with all of the excessories provided. Is there another ford similar with the 5.0? (ie. F-150...)
- Can I use my PCU or do I have to use the PCU out of the 5.0 doner car?
- More than likely, I will be converting from an Auto tranny to a 5 speed; but in case I don't do that conversion, will my 4.0 liter, auto tranny bolt up to the 5.0?
- Can I use the 4.0 liter motor mounts or do I have to use the 5.0 Liter motor mounts?

Search this fourm not to long ago there is a post called "swaping a 302 into a 88 ranger" I think. It has a couple of web sights that will be helpful in this swap. also do a search on yahoo or google for 302 ranger swap and you will get tons of information.
Hope this helped mike
