Gotta admit, I've no hands on with the book but for the price, I'm not sure you really could go wrong.

I suspect all the relevant information is available on a handful of forums, this one included, was certainly the case for my own '02 Ranger conversion but having a printed reference certainly wouldn't hurt.

From my own experience, a V8 Ranger is a truck Ford should have brought to market.

I think a lot have used the Matt Harwood manual that can be downloaded. Lot depends of the year of the swap.

If you search threads here on trs, I'm sure you'll find more than enough info to perform the swap, and for free. This swap has been performed literally every way possible. Hundreds of V8 swaps have been done here, if not thousands...

Thing I have been most anxious about is the wiring. I suck at wiring. And I will be running a carb. I gutted my engine bay about 5 years ago and labeled about 75% of the harnesses. We shall see.

Don't waste your time buying the MRE book, the Harwood manual has a lot more useful information in it.
