Hey yall, I bought a 1984 ranger a while back, shes just been sitting out the the driveway, but now that ive got her going, ive noticed a coolant leak coming from somewhere behind the engine, and the transmission looks damaged, id appreciate any help yall could offer as to what the problem is...

Removed the smog pump from my 1985 Ranger 2.8L. Here's the vacuum line diagram, modified to reflect the deleted components. The work was fairly straightforward since there were no sensors to deal with. (This is my first post :) )

I need to find the exhaust manifold to exhaust system parts, so 28362 and 92690 for the 2.8l b2; I can't find anything online; if anyone has any idea where I could get these, that would be a big help.

Im trying to get the ranger running, but I cant find a distributor anywhere for it, its been converted to duraspark, I just cant find a distributor anywhere that will work, any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated Just in case, its a 2.8 V6, 1984 Ranger

The hood sticker has faded long ago and I need to get some lines up instead of having a few capped. Was looking for a diagram for the 2.8 or better yet some pictures of the actual locations to point me in a quicker direction if anyone could provide any it would be appreciated.

Hello! So I recently picked up a 1985 Ford bronco 2 2.8l v6 as more of a project vehicle I can learn from. Either way, used to run, but now it doesn't after I gave it a tuneup lol so I'm trying to track down what got it not starting, So, I've checked for spark on sparkplugs got em, got...

Hey there, I've got an 83' Ranger 2.3L 4x4 with a TK4. I finally found a TK5 transmission with a 4WD tailshaft housing that's in really good shape. Only difference is, it's meant for a V6. I know the bellhousing bolt patterns are different but the TK4 bellhousing is interchangeable with this...

Hello, I was wondering if any of you have might have any advice on this 83 Ford ranger dolphin camper, it’s got 61k original miles, the 2.8 v6, and automatic transmission, it’s pretty cheap, plus there’s lots of motor swap options when it burns up. Is there anything I should be weary of? I’m not...

Hey there everyone. Wanted to know if anyone would be able to tell me if they have done this swap. I have the motor installed but now I'm at the point where I need to wire everything together, of course when I took the harness and motor from my donor, I had to rush and didn't label any of the...

I did some research on how to adjust the 2150 carburetor on my 1984 Bronco II using a vacuum gauge. Every where I read, they said 18-20in of vacuum is normal for a healthy V6... I was able to pull 24-25in stable on the gauge while idling at a normal RPM.... is this ok?? I would like to add...

Has anybody seen the new Holley Sniper system? Its a 2 barrel plug and play TBI. It self learns and would be perfect for all the 2.8 and 2.9L's out there. I am running the 4 barrel Sniper on my 351w swap but thought you all should know about this new system. They have a version that comes with...

As the title states I have some questions about the 4.0 swap. I have a 1985 BII with a 2.8L carbed, w/ 5spd manual, that is terrible for where I want to take it (Sierra Nevadas). I can buy a donor Explorer that is 4WD with a 5spd transmission. Most of the threads I've read are about 2.9s to...

I have completed my Duraspark on the 85' 2.8, and I have gone over everything a few dozen times. The trouble is that after removing all the junk as directed in the instructions, I now have no power to the fuel pump. The only thing I have doubts about , is when the instructions said to leave...

I brought the old farm truck home to try and get ready for my newly licensed 16 year old son to use. It has been there for the last 20 years but sat for the last 5. My uncle used it to haul wood up from a holler all those years and while it was never fast, I swear it would have climbed a...

I have a 1985 Ranger 4x4 project that currently has a 2.8 motor in it. I have found a 1978 Mustang II 2.8 in really good shape with headers, performance cam, duraspark distributor and a non-feedback Motorcraft 2150 that came out of a kit car. I want to put the Mustang engine in the Ranger, but...

I have a 1985 Ranger 2WD 2.8L...what is the driveshaft length of a 2WD vs. a 4WD and are they interchangeable? Also, can an '87 tranny crossmember be used on an '85? The bolt holes look the same on-line, but ford's website gives every year a different part number even though they say 83-89 are...
