So i'm looking to get a new motor in my 02 ranger. I've seen the issues with the complex timing on the 4.0 SOHC engines. This being said i've got a few questions.
-Is the 4.0 OHV easier to build and set timing?
-Can I still use the 5r55e trans from the SOHC on the OHV?
-If not, what trans should i use?
-Are the motor mounts and wiring harnesses similar between the 2 engines so there won't be an issue dropping one in?
I'm brand new to swapping engines and any input is welcome.
Thanks in advance TRS!
