Hey guys/gals,
I have been following this forum for a while and found a ton of useful info so thank you to all that provide help.
This is my first time attempting a swap on anything but luckily, I have friends and family that have done similar swaps and are waaay more mechanically enclined than I am but....here is where we are stuck now.
I have a 94 Ranger that had a 4cyl with a manual which we ripped out and threw in a Mustang 5.0 efi from a 91 convertible with an automatic trans. I followed along step by step from this conversion article: http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/V8Conversions.shtml
which was going great until we got to the pulleys, alternator, and power steering bracket. AS you all probably know, having to go with the short water pump leaves the pulleys unable to line up and I am having a heck of a time finding the correct brackets and pulleys for proper belt alignment. I know there are part numbers listed in the article but everywhere I have checked tell me the part numbers are not correct and they cannot help me. The truck is now sitting in the shop for weeks and its just frustrating because it is so close to getting it running again. I would really really appreciate any help
I also attached some pics of the build so far, can't wait to get this going and then start on the paint and body! (that is my specialty)
