What kind of engine can I swap in a Ranger?
4.0L V6: On ’86 and newer 2.9L V6 equipped vehicles, this is essentially a bolt-in swap. The 4.0 engine control computer, engine wiring loom, cooling system, and transmission should all be swapped in. This engine makes 170 hp, and can be upgraded with a Duff Power Chip, a free flow air filter, and even a supercharger.
What’s the difference between V6 and 4 cylinder Ford Ranger?
Four cylinder motor mounts are usually hydraulically filled and are weaker than the V6 mounts, which are a solid rubber mount. Whenever possible, use the V6 mounts. These are used on 2.9L and 4.0L Rangers. Fabricate two new brackets from 1/4-inch plate steel to bolt onto the side of the V8 motor at the motor mount bosses.
How long does it take to change a V-8 in a Ford Ranger?

Engine’s Covered 302/351W: It is recommended that you use the 5.0L (302) V-8 for your conversion. It is possible to install the 5.8L (351W) especially with a body lift, but the 5.8L is taller and a little wider than a 5.0L (302).

When to swap an explorer 5.0L for a 1999 Ranger?
All things considered, the 1998-2000 Rangers are the easiest year range for an Explorer 5.0L swap with 1999-2000 4×4 V6’s being the easiest within that group. You want a 1996-1997 Explorer 5.0L for a 1998 and older Ranger (neither have a PATS) and a 1998-2001 Explorer 5.0L for 1999 and newer Ranger.
What kind of Ignition do I need for a V-8 Ranger?
If you bought a conversion kit with motor mounts, it probably has measurements to tell you where to mount the engine mounts to the crossmember. For a V-8 swap using a carburetor, I recommend using an early to mid 1970’s Duraspark II ignition. Try to find a V-8 from this era with the distributor and ignition still intact.
Can a 1985 Ford Ranger be converted to a 5.0L?
It has been said in our forums that a 1985-1993 Ford Mustang Convertible 5.0L engine mount will work for this conversion. Swap the mounts to opposite sides (Left-Right). The convertible engine mounts and hardtop engine mounts are not the same. The 5.0L Ford Mustang Convertible was actually built on a 4-cylinder Mustang chassis.
