Hello everybody I'm new here! I've done a few v8 S-10 swaps in 2 and 4wd models but this is my first Ranger.
I bought a brand new '10 2wd 4cyl automatic Ranger yesterday just to swap in a 302. I have a fresh 302, carb not EFI that I want to drop in.
I have searched all over the forums and have issues finding a real decent COMPLETE guide to the swap and where to get the parts!
This IS a coil spring truck, and has A/C which I want to keep. Can someone help me please?
Here are some starter questions:
1. Where do I get headers that aren't $700 like Torque Monsters?
2. Who makes the motor mounts? Are they the same as the old style ranger since this is a SLA Coil truck?
3. Will the A/c bolt up and/or the heater box clear the motor?????
4. Trans - will the 5spd auto bolt up to a 5.0 and then how do we make it shift since it uses a TCM/PCM of some form? (or will it fit a 4.6 and I swap in that?)
5. Radiator? What fits best and lines up?
6. Wiring guide anyone! I am great at electronics but i'm sure the Rangers have some quirks right
THANK YOU EVERYONE! I can't wait to yank that 4 banger!
