i have a 93 3.0 ranger 4x4 5 spd, Im looking at a 97 tarus (non distributor) 3.0what Im trying to find out is can I swap over the non distributor engine in my distributor ranger. I have read that the blocks are the same, I would have to swap over all of the brackets, oil pan and i think the head gaskets. But I also want to get rid of the distributor set up of the ranger. I have or will have the complete tarus for wiring. the car has 45,000 miles on it , i cant pass it up.
Ranger has 128,000 miles on it, engine pings and takes at least two tries to start it , it has a rough running problem on that first try. There is a ecm reflash for it I think.
Should the non dist. engine run better than the dist engine? This thing sucks on highway hills. Nothing worse than getting passed by a loaded semi, and the pedal is to the wood.
