Hey everyone I am new to the forum, i have been reading different threads on a explorer 5.0 swap to a 4wd ranger, I have a few questions. I just bought a 99 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 5.0 all wheel drive today to use as the donor vehicle my question is when I put the Explorer engine in my Ranger which is a 3.0 four-wheel drive do I use the Ford Explorer Drive shafts I'm not going to add the adapter kit to use my Ranger transfer case? will the Explorer engine and transmission have to be put in separate or can I put it in as one unit in. I have read that you have to use a oil filter relocation adapter and do you use the Explorer condenser for air conditioning or the ranger condenser for air conditioning. from what I have read and understand it's pretty much a straight forward drop in swap is there anything I should look out for thank you for all the help Ryan
