I've been planning on swapping an explorer 5.0 into my 92 ranger sometime, but haven't found a clear answer concerning gauges. Can the 92 gauges be spliced into the exp. harness? I don't want to clutter my dash with gauges, so I'd really like to wire the originals to work. I also don't like...

I got a 92 ranger ext. Cab with ac (the good stuff...R12), and i'd like to throw in a 5.0 with an M5-R2 explorer/mountaineer engine, trans from an f-150. And I really don't like body lifts. So my question is, will it fit nicely without cutting up my floor pan? I don't mind folding the seam...

A friend of mine has a 74 f-350 highboy with I believe an NP435, and he would like an overdrive trans. I was wondering if anyone here has swapped a ZF5 into a 70s ford before, and was wondering what all is involved. It's not an everyday truck, but it gets around enough the overdrive would be...

So since I got a tach, i've kinda thought it idled high. It reads 1500 rpms, and always seems like it's running slower than what the tach says. So i'd like some numbers on idle engine speed, and the rpms at any given speed, in a specific gear. For example: idle speed is 1200 rpms. 3rd gear at...

So I plan on doing a 5.0 swap with an Explorer engine maybe this summer (probably next summer if i'm honest with myself), and I was wondering if the Explorer radiator will he sufficient. I often find myself with 1000 lbs in my bed, along with a 1500-2000 lbs trailer behind that in addition. So...

So I just did a solid axle swap, and my 4-link runs into the flange where the Y-pipe meets the cat. So i'd like to just bend it up a couple inches so that I get more clearance. If I can get it 1.5 inches higher, I would probably gain 4 inches of travel, at which point other things would be in...

The other day in the junkyard, I found a V8 ranger with the 1350 t-case. Should I grab the adapter plate? I have no need for it right now, but if somebody wants it, I can grab it for you....i have heard people say that those are expensive, but haven't looked into it. The engine is junk from the...

Hey guys, I read a few pages back through the V8 swap threads, and gave up looking for some economy numbers on the 5.0. What kind of MPGs have you guys been getting? Please post if you have efi or carburetor, and the mods you have that may have helped/hindered economy. Thanks

Hey guys! I'v been checking out forums here for info on my 92 ranger for a while, and finally decided to register. I got a lot of work to do on it yet, and I hope I can give some advice and recieve some wisdom from those that have done what i'm doing 92 ranger 3.slow supercab shortbed, 4 inch...
