Would an engine like this be a solid choice for the swap?
Came out of 84 f150 146k miles used as a farm truck. Fluids good, oil coolant
Need help determining if it would be a good swap into my ranger. My ranger is 4x4 35 inch tires and swapping an 8.8 Ford explorer rear axle right now in.
you were right on the 3/16th brake line and nuts. Got a stuck flare nut at the t junction of the ranger. Not sure what to do. Got the 1st one off the right way with cutting the pipe and using a socket on it. The 2nd one I used vice grips. Its stripped. Wish I would have done the same with this...
Talked with my neighbor and he can do TIG welding. Trying to figure out pinion angle. I measured 11 degrees on the axle / rear drive shaft and 13 degrees on the shaft from the transfer case. Where can I get measurements that were standard for the vehicle and for the 8.8 swap I think the axle...
the output at the transfer case was 13 deg and 11 at the rear axle. Doing an axle swap and was going to go with 11 degrees the perch mounts.
Also, where did you get your transmission and engine?
No lol. I want a discussion about things to think about and the swap. Hopefully there is no undertones of that. Need help on wiring the engine and what is needed. If anyone has wiring suggestions that would help
I have a 10 inch + lift including tires and suspension components that shouldn't be a problem
That makes sense. Was curious about the overview of the project drive train wise
Been looking at engine swaps for the ranger and trying to make a decision on what to get. I heard the 383 is an excellent truck engine due to bore and stroke size.
From my knowledge I can go with the 383, a TH350 or 400 transmission, and Transfer case
What transfer case should I need and what...
Found some who has direct experience with this work and is mobile. He said if I can mock it up and he can come in there and weld it I should be good to go. 150/hr
If I can do all the prep work for him it should take at most 3-4 hrs
Been looking at my options to weld,
Option 1: bring axle to local welding shop
or 2 buy gas generator and welder
Someone is selling a wen power pro 5500 for 300. I am a little confused if a welder can be plugged into the L15-30P socket. There must be adapters for plugs. Just unsure on the...
Forgot the emergency brake cables. Almost got them but the cable connector at the drivers side door was throwing me for a loop. Was unsure how to disconnect so me and my friend focused on detaching the axle
May get emergency brake cables to work with new for a 97 ford explorer
