Hey, Im very new here. This is actually going to be my first post. But i have no idea where to turn for help so i started looking for a forum eith some experienced people that could help me out.
I have a 94 mazda b300. Basically a 2wd 3.0 ford ranger. My engine locked up on me last night and im trying to figure out what i can do about a new engine. I dknt like the idea of a used engine but will if money gets really tight. I have for a while now wanted to do a v8 swap when i haf the money to do the engine, trans, suspension snd everythibg at once but have yet to save up enough for it all when my engine finally gave out. I want to, instead and since it seems to be cheaper since money is limited. Besides i really hate the 3.0 that lacks power and is a real pain to do an oil change on lol.
My main question im trying to ask, would a 4.0 fit in my truck, which from what i have read it will, but what will need to be modded to allow it to fit? And would tbe 4.0 mate up to my transmission or will i have to get a new tranny as well? My truck is a 94, with a 5 speed manual and is 2wd.
Any help and advice will be hugely appriciated!!
