Hello all,
I have a 1995 Mazda B2300, single cab, 5 speed, 2wd, no power steering, no A/C.
I am looking at swapping in a 5.0 302 into her and I would like to gather as much information as possible before I start.
I am planning on using a 96/97 Explorer 5.0 and 2wd F150 M50D-R2 5 speed.
My questions are as follows;
Aside from engine and wiring, what else will I need from the Explorer?
Does anyone make a wiring harness for this swap?
Will my factory driveshaft work with this swap?
Does the M50D-R2 bolt right up on the factory crossmember?
My Mazda is OBD2 so is the Explorer. Will I run into any issues with that?
Other than that I think I am pretty set on what to do.
Thank you for the advice.
