so my main question is if i decide to swap a 4.6l into my 89 ranger which one should i go with, sohc or dohc. If im thinking right the sohc is narrower making it an easier install, but the dohc i could get an aluminum block and they make more power and torque. is this right. Im thinking of maybe finding like a wrecked mark 8 or something to get the aluminum 4.6l dohc and then hooking that to the 5speed tranny and t case out of an f150. Is this possible and will it cause my have to build crazy ass wiring harness.
