if you go "4.0" you will need to change the trans also, the bell housing bolt patterns are different.

Wait a minute......3.0's are indestructible......there's no way that 3.0 could be blown up.

Just ask all the guys here who want to feel good about the ranger they ended up with!!!

I thought the 3.0L found in the Ranger was an OHV Vulcan engine? I don't see anything mentioning ever putting a Duratec SOHC 3.0L in a Ranger on Wiki, nor have I ever heard of that from the factory.

Are you kidding me? The newer 3.0Ls can tend to commit suicide, I would almost be willing to bet his CPS failed and engine froze. If you have a distributor, that claim would be a lot more reasonable.

Edit:
And oh, to actually answer your question: No. It's not even close to a direct bolt in. 3.0L is an odd ball compared to the Colonge engines.
