My 99 ranger 4x4 3.0 flex is shot. I would like to know what year engine will work in it. I found a 95 3.0 if I use my intake , sensors injectors will this engine work. Im just using the block and heads off the 95. I suppose to pick this engine up tomorrow. Please let me know if this engine will work or what ill need to make this swap. Thanks

Yes, it will be fine, may also have to swap oil pans, so a new oil pump might be a good idea if you do.

Also new rear main seal for sure :)

This page gives changes to 3.0l over the years: http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/3_0-build.shtml

'95 has shorter head bolts and larger valves, so remember that if you do need to remove the heads at some point

3.0 longblocks are essentially interchangeable. Like you said, all you need to use from the 95 engine is the block, internals and heads. Everything else should come from your current engine.
