There is an excellent article on one of these forums on swapping a 96-01 Explorer 5.0L into a 98-up Ranger.
I'd like to swap a 96 Explorer 5.0L into my 2000 Ranger regular cab short bed 2wd with front coil springs.
The article states that there are 2 fuel system choices when swapping a 96-98 Explorer 5.0L into a 98-up Ranger: 1. Run a fuel return line and, I assume, use the stock Ranger fuel pump and the Explorer fuel rail mounted fuel pressure regulator. or 2. Use 99-up Explorer fuel rails and install a 99-up Explorer in-tank fuel pressure regulator.
If I use the 96-98 Explorer 5.0L engine for this swap my fuel system questions are: 1. Am I correct in that if I run a fuel return line that I can use the stock Ranger fuel pump and the stock Explorer fuel rail mounted fuel pressure regulator? and 2. If I use 99-up Explorer returnless fuel rails can I use the stock Ranger fuel pump if I install a 99-up Explorer in-tank fuel pressure regulator? How do you reset the 99-up Explorer in tank fuel pressure regulator to the 35-45psi fuel pressure required by the 96-98 Explorer 5.0L?
Any help and advice on the fuel system issue would be most appreciated. Thanks.
