So since the 5.0 probably spun a bearing. I have no oil pressure even testing with a gauge. Im thinking about putting a 351w roller motor in I found one for $350 under 80k on it I know Im gonna have to change a bunch of things to make it work but if the A9l mass air computer will work that just makes it easier and cheaper according to LMR the mustang ecm will work with a 351w I think that m5odr2 transmission will bolt up but im sure it will break. I plan picking up this motor regardless if it goes in the ranger or not. I always wanted a notch back or a fox body with T tops so ill store it for that.down the road. But either way that 5.0 had to come back out at some point. I have another 5.0 from a 89 crown vic lying around but the pistons are different so I guess I can use that crank if mine is messed up. And but new bearings in or I found a company that sells short blocks for less than 1k. Or I could get a JY explorer motor and put my heads and cam in etc if they are not ruined.
