Yes had to add the spacers so the mustang wheel centercaps cleared the spindles

Ive got mustang rear brakes on my rwd ranger. But they are just gt, smaller ones with mustang 17" wheels plenty of room. Not sure if 16's are big enough for the cobras but 17's should definately fit

Maverick? Lol

I may have a set of covers. I can look

I need to do a 302 swap into my 01 ranger as well. You have the perfect doner explorer, for me anyway, lol. Do you have emissions tests there or just safety?

Yes & a ranger is a 2 ton, full frame truck!! Trucks are for towing & hauling. So why cant we have an engine in our truck thats capable of efficiantly accomplishing this? 302 ci for the win!!!

I don't know why they're so damn picky about it as long as it passes their little test, as long as it has catalytic converters on it what do they care? they're still getting free money for it. & if they really cared about whats coming out of the tailpipe, they'd still be sticking the probe in...

By using the 1998 up explorer 5.0 its pretty much a direct swap from what ive read on this site. Now to put it to practice

Theres only 3 counties in missouri that i know of that still do emissions tests, in that test all thats done is to check for current obd2 codes & make sure all but 1 readiness monitor is passed. Nobody ever lifts the hood

From what ive read, & makes sense, 98 up 5.0 motor, harness & pcm from explorer are the best bet for my year ranger. The exhisting 3.0 has a rod knock, needs head gaskets & was always underpowered for this truck from the get go

Hello, im in Missouri too & wanting to 302 my 01 ranger. Here in Jeff county we have to pass safety & emissions but as long as the monitors are ready & it passes a basic safety inspection no worries.

Thanx, the wheels are the 18" torque thrust 2's. They really fit the stance of the truck well imo.

Just thought i'd share a couple pics of an 02 i recently aquired. Stock drivetrain still.

Did this to the 01 ranger today, & yesterday, & the day b4. Lol more work than anticipated but its done. Glad i did it.

What do you think they're worth I don't know what they're worth what price would you put on them
