The swap is finally underway!
Donor Vehicle:
2000 Mercury Mountaineer
5.0L
AWD
My Ranger:
2000
3.0L, Manual
4X4
Regular Cab
Goal of Swap:
Instead of reusing the Mountaineer's transmission and transfer case, I am swapping in an M5ODR-2 and BW4406 from a 2000 F-150. If the 4406 doesn't fit under my regular cab, I will search for an np205 or 208.
Parts used so far:
Mountaineer engine and all accessories
M5ODR-2 from 2000 F-150
Flywheel, block plate, and clutch kit for 1996 F-150 5.0L
BW4406 from 2000 F-150
Notes:
Everything has been quite straightforward so far. I actually used the 3.0L mounts. They are identical to the mountaineer's except one of the bolts is 1 inch to one side. So all I did was drill another hole and it sits in there perfectly. I'll take pictures of this later if anyone needs explanation.
