I've looked and looked but I can't find a definitive answer. Here's what I have, 1993 ranger 2.3 auto 84k motor and tranny are perfect, 2002 Ranger XLT 2.5. 150k I'm told the 2002 needs a intake valve.. the guy I bought it from started taking the motor apart and gave up, picked it up for $200. The body, frame, transmission and everything else is in excellent condition.
The 93 has a completely rusted out driver side, frame is actually in good shape except for the rear frame where the bumper attached.
My question is: should can I swap motors 93 to the 2002 or should I swap the body from the 02 to the 93?
My buddy and I are going to start working on this later today, he has worked on motors and wants to see if the 02 pistons,internals are good. If so I'm assuming we can rebuild the top end. If that is not the case.. motor swap or body swap?
