  2. 3rd gen to 4th gen rangers

    So I was looking at my headlights the other day and they’re awfully foggy. I can clean them up, but I was wondering if I could do an upgrade. From my headlights and turn signals to a 4th gen headlight setup. Has anyone tried this or do they not match up for mounting locations?
  3. 2.3 to 4.2 swap

    I have a manual 2.3 ranger that is just gutless. I have a wrecked f-150 with the 4.2 in it. I'd like to put the 4.2 into the ranger and I was wondering what kind of mods I would need to do to make it work since I can't find anyone else who has done this particular swap. The reason I want to do...
  4. 7.5 to 8.8 swap brake reuse?

    Hey guys, Does anyone know whether the 10" drum brakes from the old (2002) 7.5" axle can be reused on an 8.8 31-spline axle out of an FX4 Level-II? My drum brakes are in good shape and if I didn't have to bleed the brakes it seems like the job would be significantly easier... I heard the 8.8"...

  9. Seat Swap. 1989 to 2000 Ranger

    I've got two Rangers. My old one is an 1989 x cab and I've got a 2000 x cab. Will the 89 bucket seats bolt right into the 2000? The 2000 has the split seats and the guy who owned the truck was a slob. I love my 89 seats and want to put them into the 2000. After I finish scavenging any parts, I'm...

    2.9 to C4 Swap

    (Started a new thread since the old one was nearly decade old.) All help forums say one way to connect a 2.9 block to a c4 tranny is to use a C5 bellhousing. My A4 has gone belly-up for the third time so I'm making this swap. (I only have about 60k on the 2.9 rebuild or I'd swap engine and...

  14. Speedo help 5.0 swap

    I finally got my 93 ranger 5.0 swap up started. it sounds great. As i finish the driveshafts i figure the speed issues should be ironed out as well.

  15. Thinking about swap, have done some research, still have some questions...

    As the title states I have some questions about the 4.0 swap. I have a 1985 BII with a 2.8L carbed, w/ 5spd manual, that is terrible for where I want to take it (Sierra Nevadas). I can buy a donor Explorer that is 4WD with a 5spd transmission. Most of the threads I've read are about 2.9s to...

  17. Cluster swap questions

    I was looking for a Sport Trac cluster in a parts yard and while I didn't find one in a Trac, I found a 2001 Explorer (even had a 5 speed, nice!) with the same white face gauges so I picked it up. I was just wondering if this would be plug and play into a 2000 Ford Ranger 2.5L. I've searched...

    Before anyone even comments, yes, I've read the tech articles. I want to hear some opinions on Carbed or EFI 302/5.0. I also would like to know what transmission, transfer case, and front axle I would need. Which vehicle would be a better donor? What would be the simplest when it comes to...
  19. Transmission Swap?

    Hello, I have a 1984 Ranger with a slipping transmission. My mechanic told me that I need a new one. Given that it's a C3, I was considering a swap with a C5 if possible.
