I recently bought a 98 ranger but there were some misfiring issues and it fried the engine apparently. I'm debating just getting rid of it but was wondering how difficult it would be to install a 302 crate engine with a c6 transmission.
I have a mechanic friend who would just charge me $1000 for labor but I need to get all the parts
The engine i'm looking at looks like it needs some extras on top to complete it.

I believe that is a carb application but I believe they told me they can sell me one for Fuel Injection but he warned me getting all the other engine parts could be costly.
Does anyone else know what I would need to complete this project parts wise, I appreciate any and all help as i'm not mechanically inclined. I originally wanted to install a raptor kit on the 98 ranger but may have to give up on it due to the engine dying out. It's between doing this project or looking at a colorado zr2 or wait for the new ranger raptor to come out.
