Engine swap question

Anyone ever swap the 3.0 out of a Ranger and put in a 5.0 ?

4x4 or 2wd?

its been done alot. not sure about here though

It’s a 2wd.

I know it’s common, just didnt know if any in Pittsburgh had one.

This is what I remember from talking to a few guys that had this done…

  1. I’m pretty sure you need an oil filter relocation kit for that swap due to space constraints.
  2. I believe there is a bellhousing adapter for the transmission somewhere (probably advanced adapters)
  3. You will need heavier front springs/torsion bars to support the additional weight properly.

check out www.Cardomain.com u’ll find plenty of references on there
