blew the head gaskets in the danger ranger, don't really wanna rebuild it considering the high mileage of 193,000 miles. got a good deal on picking up a 99 ford explorer 5.0 v8 for $700 it needs a fuel pump. was thinking of picking it up as a parts vehicle and swapping all into the ranger. can you give me some insight to how difficult this would be wiring wise? going from obd-1 to obd-2 im guessing? also plan on using fox body mustang motor mounts which ive heard are a great fit. don't care about ac or heat if I have to move the ac box, that's not a big deal. its pretty much going to be a strict play truck for the desert.
also planning on ripping all the 4x4 out and just doing a prerunner build with some twin I beam set up.
and I appreciate any info or tips on what I want to build. you guys are all super knowledgeable and have helped me greatly in the past!:icon_thumby:

This didn't go anywhere. Anyway my.buddy at work is pulling his 5.0 out of his bronco 2 and selling it to me I am pretty stoked cus he's selling it with mounts and all ready to drop into my ranger. He is keeping the transmission and drive lines and such. Will an explorer v8 transmission work with this setup?
