*****2022 EDIT...SINCE PHOTOBUCKET DELETED ALL MY PICS I AM REPOSTING MORE PICS******



Sub Thread...2.9L to SBC Engine Swap (the 2.9L electronics were failing one at a time...after spending $200 on replacemnt parts and still having problems I decided to install the SBC)

He-e-e-ere w-e-e-e-e g-o-o-o-o-o-o !....(again!)

I've got to remove everything from the firewall.....1 hr.---------DID!

Remove all the 2.9 harnesses....1 hr.-----------------------------------------DID

Cover the firewall with some foil noise/heat reflector.....1 hr.----gotta go to store first...DID

Then, put the sbc in place......1 hr.--------------------------almost!-------------DID

Modify the drive shaft & connect it to the 700 auto/xmsn><rear end......1.hr.-------DID....took 2 hrs.

Then, put everything back on the firewall to fit around the sbc....1 hr.--------------------DID

Unexpected stuff..............2 hr.

Its a long 8 hr. list for tomorrow!!!!

EDIT: Completely re-do wiring to eliminate computer harnesses.....1 day---------wrong-----3 day

I found the engine......time to take the Ranger apart up to the firewall....

back to the go-rajjjj....hood(s) are off

back to the go-rajjjj.....gots to remove bumper since it's braces go THRU the fenders!

back to the go-rajjjjj...........passenger's fender is off (no sense in dropping an engine on it!)

back to the go-rajjjjj......driver's side fender is off.....

back to the go-rajjjj.....grill & radiator removed...(may be the wrong pic, but you get the idea).......

2.9L on the hoist.......

it's all da way out!......

now for a good corner to put in in until I can bolt it to the test stand...

Tuesday.......firewall is de-wired.....

firewall with heat/noise blanket........(pic is foggy)

Time for lunch--then back to go-rajjjj.....

Slight Change of plans....I'm gonna install heat/noise blanket under the cab too while it's easy to get to.....

Is this engine really supposed to fit where the 2.9l was?????????????......Gimme a tube of grease!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well....the hoist lacked 2" of raising the sbc high enough to get it off the test stand......so.....let the air outta the test stand tires...then pry thr test stand out from under the sbc....2 hrs. later (2:30 Wed. morning)......it's almost in place.....

I removed the xmsn x-member & cut the lenght down to 30"...(15" < center > 15 ")

OOOOPs......Stupied me......when I bolted the new xmsn mount to the fatter sbc/xmsnnnnnn....the oem crossmember became too high at the hump (shoulda seen that & bought a Ranger xmsn mount---it's half as thick as the Chevy mount!!!)......when I flipped the x-member up-side down...it was too low...I shoulda remembered what I read in other engine swap threads..bit twice!
So, I cut a piece of 2" heavy duty angle iron to 30" length/notched the ends to fit inside the frame rails/grinded a flat spot on the ridge of the angle-iron/drilled a center hole thru it for the xmsn flex-mount center stud/bolted everything together for a temporary x-member.....
