This may or may not be in the right section. New to the site and my search turned up little helpful information.
I've got a '96 Ranger with the 2.3L thats shot(I bought it this way). I found a you-pull-it thats got a 110k mile '01 Duratec 2.3L that runs for $125 so if I can pick that up I surely want it. "Duratec" means little to me but I figured to swapping it probably means something. So I guess my actual question is--How much is involved in swapping in a Duratec into a '96? Possible plug and play and swap computers? Or would I need the harness and all?
OR
Slightly more expensive route, I found a 2.5L also in an '01(Early '01 is what Im told?) for $200 with about the same miles. Not sure how well this one runs though. Since this is also an OHC 4-banger like the 2.3L, would this be the easier swap? What is involved?
My biggest factor leading me to want the Duratec is the power advantages and slightly lower miles. Plus it helps that I know it runs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
