I may be new but I have read the tech posts and I am left with a few questions which is why im posting my questions. Im intending to build a 95 2wd ranger with a carburated 302 HO with a mild cam, an M5OD, and the 3.08 geared 8.8 from my 92 4.0.
1. I have a 95 2.3L with a 5 speed I am looking to build and a 92 4.0L with an auto which has a bad frame. I had a body lift picked out for the 92 but have realized that the 95 requires a different and much more expensive one. Does anyone know why this is? The frames seam to be identical.
2. Im sure the answer to question 1 will answer this but is there a reason I wouldn't be able to swap the 92 cab to the 95 frame?
3. I read that if you have the 4.0 drive shaft you can reuse them with an AOD. Would that also be true if your using the convertable fox body motor mounts and an M5OD?
4. I have read that a 4.0 radiator will support a stock 302, has anyone actually tried this? I would like to use the rad out of my 92 4.0 in my 95 but thought I would check before I pull it out and try it myself.
If anyone can see a problem or knows of any tips to same some time or money that I may have over looked please give all the suggestions and hints you can.
