5.0 Motor Mounts

Twizzler09 · Feb 26, 2008

We used to have a link in the TRS Fab & Offroad section that had the nessecary mounts and whatnot for a 5.0/5.8 swap.... anyone know what happened to it? Or am I just looking right over it and not even realizing it?

Regardless I'm trying to find a V8 swap motor mount kit if anyone knows where to locate them.

take a look in the "Tech Library" > V8 conversions

I think someone told me that "James Duff" had them.

Explorer mounts work awesome for the '93+ Rangers. Did in my case anyway.

I don't have a 5.0 Explorer to use as a donor though, plus I have no idea where the local junkers are.

For my swap i used 4.0L Ranger engine mount and mak some plate like in the teck library

The mounts still should be easily adapted to fit if you can come up with a set.

yeah, I ended up finding the nessecary plates for the mounts, so problem solved

Right on. Good luck with the swap!

thanks

I'm itchin to tear into the 302 and start rebuilding it... really hoping it'll turn out like I want it to, hopefully better, but I shouldn't get my hopes up, lol

Now that I think about it, anyone know what kind of numbers a stock '84 302 generates?

210hp, 230 ft/lbs 'ish for a typical 5.0. GT40P heads with an intake might get 220-225 and 250 ftlbs or so.

Twizzler09 · Feb 28, 2008

I'll fix that in a hurry

Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, intake, carb, and cam ftw, lol

I got curious though and started poking around on google, found a chart that said the typical 1984 5.0 only made 165-175 horses and like ~245 ft/lbs.... that can't possibly be right can it? my 4.0 nearly makes that....

Sadly that could be entirely true - I do recall seeing some pitiful numbers for earlier SB's like that... if that is the case, the heads, intake, cam, etc would put you around 220ish I would imagine.
