ok does this make any sense to you guys at all?

[dlevi2121]

My buddy swears up and down that he took a 1897 ranger with a 2.9 in it and swaped a 1991 351 f.i. motor extended the wires to the injection for the other 2 cyl and pluged in the computer for the 351 and it all worked just fine there has to be more to it wouldent there be?

 

[holyford86]

if done correctly, the 2.9 like the 351w is a bank fired engine so it has a great possibility of working just fine

guys do it with the 5.0's all the time

 

[mp3deviant721]

Anybody notice that he's asking about a 1897 Ranger?

Anyway, this sounds interesting. An easy swap? Hmmm.........

1897 ranger with a 2.9

No, this does not make sense. I was unaware they had rangers back in 1897.

They had Rangers, but I doubt they would like their wiring played with.

 

[cammeddrz]

they had rangers but instead of having california models......they were texas models

And the 351 is just a glorified 5.0.

a 351w is, the modifieds and clevelands are quite different but the principles stay the regardless

 

[dirttrackracer]

come on guys you shuld know ford made a black ranger then. lol here it is you might have a hard time fitting the 351 in there but some manhandling is required

Yes, the M was a toned down 400, and the Cleveland was it's own awesome beast, but you and I both know that if the swap was that easy and involved adding two injector plugs to the 2.9 harness, its more than just a safe bet that the engine in question was a Windsor.

Also, the OP clearly states it was a 91 MY engine. The W was the only 351 still in production into the 90s.

henry ford die in 1947
hahaha really awesome

probably the guy that car with him,there are very-tiny at world,make any sense with a 351w

 

[88_Eddie]

it's impossible, rangers didnt come with 2.9's until 1906

 

[Sunk]

Hell I've seen an FI setup for a 5.0 modded to fit a 351C intake in a Pantera.

Ok it looks like you guys had a lot of fun with that one and yes it is a 1987 and a 351 w this phone is hard to read as I am doing all of this from my phone sitting here at work watching the time roll by
