Well I have been around here for quite a while, and all along i have been talking about swaping a 4.0 into my truck. I have an 86 ranger with a 2.3 in it. Anyone who has read any of my past post know that my 2.3 is well, an animal on its last stump. Well I finally have gotten enough money saved up to actually start the swap. Well a friend of mine has a 94 ranger with a 4.0 in it. The trucks frame is shot and the rear shakels and their mounts have gone to the great junk yard in the sky. He is wanting to sell it and contacted me about buying the motor. It has 200,000+ miles on it but it runs strong good oil presure, doesn't have any major leaks. how much would be a fair price for the motor and its accessories?
Oh and his truck is a manual and mine is an automatic (a brand new automatic, sometimes the crapy A4ld comes in handy) so will there be a problem with the computer trying to communicate with the transmission? I don't think the A4ld is electronic controled but I want to make sure before I get into a problem.
