ok... here it is a couple years ago I used this forum and all its infinite wisdom to build my 86 ranger xlt 4x4.. I swapped in a 93 4.0 with a4ld.. I swapped my manual tcase (from the ranger) onto it and had drivelines made.. it wound up with 92 dash, cluster, pedals, column, door panels, seats, wiring, radiator, heater box, ac, and anything else I could swap in from the donors including the 3.73 limited slip dana 35 and 8.8... I added 31/10.5s and 4" lift along with off road goodys... now the issues... the 4.0 developed a cracked head, the a4ld is starting to loose gears and the tcase is makin noise.. so I wanna do it right.. its going 5.0, aod and 1356.. I got a 5.0 from an 97 explo along with the radiator and ac condenser. I pulled a aod/1356 from a 84 f150.. I also have the distributer and cam from the wifes 93 gt.. will need wring, maf, explorer alt and some form of a computer... need suggestions on those and any issues I might run into.. I know about the motor mount/plate issues, ac box clearance, tach recal, shifter mods, and driveline issue, my concern is wiring based and has anyone found a better set of valve cover for these motors..
