I'm looking to Find a truck to do a Lima turbo swap into. Does anyone know if the Lima block will bolt into a late 2000 or a 2001 Ranger. Talking about using the stock Ranger motor mounts here. I'll be doing a t5 Swap as well.

Thanks!

Shouldn't be an issue, the frames didn't change.

Why change to the T5? I've abused the heck out of my Ranger with the M5OD pushing about 200hp and it's doing fine, I changed the bearings and synchro's a couple years ago as at about 200k the synchro's were worn but it looked new inside... and my friends with toyota's envy my tranny for how smooth and easy it shifts :)

They switched to the Duratech engine in mid '01 if that helps your search...

Yep they will since 2001 was the last year the Lima was used in the ranger.

Great info, thanks guys, I'm glad t know that I'm on the right track.

I'm swapping to a T5 because I'd rather have a manual and the truck Im looking at purchasing is a 3.0 Auto.
