Just curious if any one has done a swap on a 2002 or newer ranger with an existing 4.0 to a 5.0? I have a 2002 4.0 4x4 4:10 gearing 5 speed auto with torsion bars that has 240,000 miles. the timing chains are needing replaced and I can swap a remanned 4.0 with a 3year unlimited mile warranty for total cost of $3,400.00 thats the labor, long block and a couple other parts. What does a typical 5.0 swap cost? nobody has ever said how much they are into it. This is also my daily driver/work truck. I can only afford to have it down for a week. no longer. I'd have to buy all the adapters and parts needed because i don't have time to fabricate parts/adapters. I'm also curious at the power difference. any info would be helpful because I need to buy, rebuild, or swap soon. Thanks.
