I have a 97 Ranger extended-cab with a bad 4.0 (blown head gasket). The last few years have been leading up to this moment. I always knew that when my engine finally crapped out I would do an engine swap. I'm going to install a 5.0 HO engine with EFI backed by a WC T5 tranny. I will keep the 8.8 rear end.
What I've collected so far are the following parts & pieces:
1) A freshly rebuilt 5.0 HO out of a 91 Mustang. It has a few mild performance upgrades.
2) A Ford Racing EFI main harness for a 5.0 swap
3) Ron Francis wiring injector harness & accessory harnesses that hookup to main harness
4) A9L ECU
5) New WC T5 Transmission & bellhousing
6) New clutch, pressure plate, and TO bearing
7) Advance adapter engine mounts
8) Tri-Y headers & and shorty headers (hopefully 1 of them will work)
9) Oil filter relocation kit
10) and a bunch of other stuff....
I do have pictures....just not sure how to post them here....or if I even can since I only have 2 posts.
The swap starts this weekend...so stay tuned.....
