I am swapping the engine from my 1999 Ranger that had a 2.5L with 5-speed transmission. I'm using an engine (2.3L) and 5-speed transmission from a 1995 Ranger.
I believe we will have to use the 2.3 wiring harness, confirm if you can?
The clarification I need is will I have to change the motor mounts and will I need to use the driveshaft from the 1995?
What I've read is that the 2.5 is simply the 2.3 stroked and if that's the case the external dimensions should be the same.
If someone could clarify these questions I sure would appreciate it.
If you have any other advice that would also be helpful. Starting the project today which is why I posted in this thread. If inappropriate, just let me know and I'll post in the correct location. Thanks
