Hello,
I think I am finally going to do a 302 swap in a Ranger. Not in my daily driver though, I want to use an extended cab first or second generation Ranger for the swap. Before starting getting parts and everything, I had a few questions.
Are those V8 conversion kits worth buying? The one they have at Jeg's looks like a good deal, as it comes with Hedman headers, oil filter relocation kit, and the motor mounts for $388.
What makes for an easier swap, a carburated 302 or fuel injected 5.0?
Will a radiator from an 80's 5.0 Mustang work good with the swap? The only reason I ask is because I found one for free.
What do I have to do to ensure that the swap will be emissions legal in Oregon?
Thanks for your answers.
