I am just curious...I have 2 rangers. One is a 2000 ranger stock that is my daily driver/playing in the mud truck and the other is a 1988 ranger that has a bad 4 cylinder. I have never attemped a V8 swap into a ranger...let alone a big block V8. I have a 1978 carbed 460 engine just setting in the shop that ran like a top when pulled...of course it needs some attention now. However, I really would like to fuel inject it or just find a fuel injected one already, but then comes the mind boggling wiring issues and the transmission compatibility problems. This little ranger is a 4wd standard trans....What would mate up and work? It really sounds like a pain in the rear to me and I was just pondering rather or not to attempt it as something to tinker on occasionally. I don't know if it would be worth it would it? I know some major mods and fab work would be needed to make a big block fit in there and even more headaches getting a transmission that would mate up and fit...anyways, just wondering if anyone has ever did it?
