Hi, I'm looking to change the engine on a 1994 B4000 4.0L 4X4. Since I've seen that in those years, the 3.0L V6 engine had a better mileage, I would like to change my 4.0L for the 3.0L. (I don't need the power of the 4.0L).
So here is my problem: I know that the transmissions for 3.0L and 4.0L have different ratio (in the three firsts gears accorfing to the technical library...). So, can I still put the 3.0L engine with the 4.0L transmission or I will have to find a 3.0L transmission?
Here are the ratios:
1991-2000 4.0L Ranger 5-Speed 3.40 / 2.05 / 1.31 / 1.00 / 0.79 (4.0L Engines)
1991 - Up 3.0L Ranger 3.72 / 2.20 / 1.50 / 1.00 / 0.79 (All Other Engines)
Acoording to what I see (correct me if I'm wrong...) I would simply get less tork in the three firsts gear...Would that be too hard on the clutch?
Thank you.
