I have a 86 ranger std cab sitting on a 91-94 frame. the guy that had the truck before me had a 302 in the truck at one time. I was just wondering what 5.0 motors will fit in my truck. will a 5.0 from a 94 f105 fit? thanks

will a 89 wrangler 4.2 fit into a 86 ranger? How much work will be required? I have no motor or trans right now, and really want to get my truck up and running. It had a 3.0 in it, but can't find one of those around here anywhere.

I have a 86 Ranger, the motor that came out of it was a 91-94 3.0. I got a 99 4.0 out of an explorer that I am wanting to put in my Ranger. I noticed the motor mounts we different. I was wondering it the mounts out of the explorer will work on my ranger. I know that I will have to get the wiring...

I found a 95 Explorer motor and trans with computer for a good price. Not sure if it is the 3.0 or 4.0 but with the transmission being a 4R44E, I am guessing a 3.0. Would this combo work in my Ranger? It is a 86 body on a 91-94 frame.

Ok, so my Ranger had a 3.0 in it. The motor was a 91-94, and my body is a 86. I pulled the motor and tranny because it went out on me. I found a 2.9 motor and tranny out of a BII. It is a 88. There is no info on the 2.9, except that it ran when it was parked. The other part is the BII is a...

I am looking for a 3.0 motor and 4x4 trans. Would also consider doing a 5.0 swap. I am in central texas.

OK, this might be in the wrong place, but I don't know where to post this. So here goes.. I have a 1986 Ranger 4x4. The motor that is in it is a 91-94 3.0 4x4. I can get a good deal on a 2.9 motor and transmission out of a 1988 BII. My motor and trans are both shot, and don't have time or place...

Would the wiring be the same from a 3.0 with single coil and a 3.0 with coil pack?

Ok, so I have a Frankenstein truck. The body is a 1986, not sure what the frame is, the motor is a 1991-1994. It is a 3.0 and 4 wheel drive. 2" body lift and 4" suspension lift sitting on 33's. I believe the rear end was swapped with a 8.8. I want to swap my 3.0 with a 4.0. I know I will have...

Will a 1988 Bronco II 2.9 motor mount up to a 1991 Ranger Transmission. Both are 4x4.

Anyone have a tube bumper on their ranger or know where I could get one?

I have a 1986 Ranger, not sure what year the motor is, but it is a 3.0. I replaced the starter and it was for a 96, and the ignition coil was for a 86. SO I am lost. Anyway, a few weeks ago, I overheated the engine, and the tranny wasn't shifting right, which caused the overheating. It stalled...

From Texas, Hope to learn about Rangers on here.
