Hi,
I was checking the TECH Library as well as Posts-I cannot seem to find anything on swapping my 95 3.0 for a newer 3.0. I am satisfied with the motor-due to gas mileage. I will be starting a new job and the Ranger will be running everyday on the highway for my job. It runs fine now, but with almost 130,000-I want to be ready to swap when I need it. I get paid by the run. So, I have tried to follow everyting, and I have done a swap on a car before. On it I had to swap the motor, ECU ( Rangers called a PCM), and the MAF-everything else was plug n play. It was a 1993 to 2001 swap (mazda). Assuming that this is the same case, has anyone done this swap, and have there been any problems? I have been looking around locally and am finding 95-97 3.0s with 200k to 300k on them, and still wanting a mint. I have found one out of a 96 with 79k on it, decent price but 3 hrs away. Locally I have found a few 2003-2006 (or what years are the best for this swap)3.0s priced decent, but not sure if I have to swap tranny as well, if anyone has insight Please let me know...I did check the 3.o thread as well..
Thanks,
Mel
