5.0

Working on getting started for my V8 swap! I got an 8.8 rear end out of a '97 explorer last week. I also ordered a fuel injected crate motor from BluePrint Engines that's going to be delivered towards the end of January. Here's the link to the one I got...

I know the 5.0 swap has been done a billion times. Im heavily considering doing it and am already aware of the wiring and computer issues that may and will pop up. What im asking is will the T56 Trans bolt to an 01 5.0 out of an explorer, and are there any adapter plates or ways to bolt a TCase...

Hello all, I have been searching for an answer for this for what feels like hours. I can find plenty of examples of 4x4 Rangers being 5.0 swapped or manual 2WD being 5.0 swapped but not 2wd auto swaps. So here is my question: I'm currently looking to buy a donor ‘98-‘01 Explorer/ Mountaineer...

I want to start by saying it's been YEARS since I've been here, but I'm finally back in a ranger and I'm glad to be back.:yahoo: I scored a free 302 from a 78 Mustang Cobra that I'm going to be tearing apart, rebuilding and putting in my truck. I want to be pushing about 350 horse at the...

I finally got my 93 ranger 5.0 swap up started. it sounds great. As i finish the driveshafts i figure the speed issues should be ironed out as well. Correct me if i am wrong but as i understand: -the 98 explorer 5.0 needs a speed input from the rear axle. -the 93 ranger is cable driven with a...

Like the title says im about to drop my 5.0 out of a 98 explorer into my 93 ranger. It then hits me im going to have to deal with PATS. since my vehicle does not have Pats i understand i am going to need something of the explorer steering column and then the module behind the glove box. Now...

I have an 03 ranger edge with a 5.0 and T5 running a 97 explorer computer. The speedometer worked fine with the 4R70W trams out of the explorer but I swapped to a T5 out of a 2000 model mustang. It runs fine without any tune (just took the "check engine" light out because I couldn't get over...

So, I got my M5OD-R2 into my truck today (1998 ranger previously 3.0 regular cab short box 4x4 mated with my expo motor and the crossmember does not line up. The tranny I bought is from www.smartpartsauto.com remanufactured from a 1999 4.2 liter f150. My crossmember doesn't line up with the...

I have a 1984 carbureted 5.0 out of a lincoln town car in my 1984 ranger. I am using the stock wiring harness from a 1983 ranger but im not sure what which wires go to what so I can splice them to the wires on the motor. anyone have some kind of diagram. this is probably kind of confusing i...

I have a 5.0 out of an 84 Lincoln town car that was running real shitty, when i pulled out the plugs to do a compression check one of my cylinders was hosing out gas out of the spark plug hole. we checked the compression and it was at 50 while all the others were at 100. in late fall some water...

I got a 5.0 in my ranger out of a 1984 lincoln town car (not 100% sure on the year but everything seams to work with the 84) with the motorcraft 2100 carburetor on it, does anyone have a diagram on where all the vacuum lines go.

I have a 5.0 with an np435, and a f150 bell housing with that slave and the stock 84 ranger master cylinder. can't seem to get enough flow to completely disengage the clutch. the pedal is hard and feels like it normally would. anyone know if there is a different slave or different master that...

I am building a 5.0 ranger with the np435 transmission. i can not get the clutch to disengage all the way. i have the bell housing and external slave cylinder from a 1985 ford f150 and the stock 84 ranger master cylinder. I've bled the slave cylinder to the point where I have a pretty hard pedal...

So I've been on here quite a bit and I currently have a build thread going. I'm almost done building my motor and was looking ahead to my next task to overcome. So some basic details before going in about my build. 86' 2.9 A4LD 4x4 converting to an 5.0 & C4 retaining the original BW1350...

Hello all! Just starting my 5.0 swap on my 97 2wd ext cab ranger. The old 3.0 blew a head gasket and water pump and not to mention the tranny is garbage hahah. So I got a 302 efi motor from a 93 f150 complete with engine harness and computer as well as a tranny which is an AOD or the newer...

Okay, so I've searched around the internet, but haven't found specific answers for these questions. I've got a 2000 Ranger 2wd, and want to put a 5.0 in it, I'm in the midst of putting the engine together, but I have questions about some parts. I've read about some conversion kits online, but...

Alright I have a mustang T5 in my 03 ranger edge (originally 3.0). The 98+ rangers clutch master connects into the pedal assembly itself while the 97 and earlier bolted to the firewall. I used an older ranger 7/8 bore clutch master bolted to the firewall and down to a universal 7/8 bore clutch...
