Hi,
In the middle of throwing a 1997 mountaineer V8 into a 2000 ranger that had a 4 cyl, the ranger is coil springs and 2WD, mountaineer was AWD as usual.
I have been reading on V8 conversions for years and from what I could find you are supposed to use the mountaineer mounts on the ranger.
I bought new mountaineer mounts to keep from having to remove them from the mountaineer.
Pulled the ranger mounts, the pin hole is on the wrong side for the monty mounts so I drilled a hole.
With the new mount sitting in the ranger frame it tilts toward the engine compartment obviously the wrong angle.
Has anyone had to deal with mounts from a 1997 5.0 on a ranger 2000 2wd frame?
