Howdy all. I'm a grown man finally getting a chance to a) get into this hobby and b) build my dream truck since Junior high. Lost my '99 after 16 years via hydroplane.
Found/bought a 92 Ranger A4LD 4x4. Engine shot but the rest is gorgeous. I want to put a 4.0 and compatible tranny in as well. I know barely enough to be dangerous but I'm smart, mechanically-inclined and committed.
My question: is this swap "easy" (relatively speaking, of course) and what are the obstacles this rookie should know about? Btw, it has a 3" lift on 30" tires. I know there's previous threads but small situational discrepencies and inner-thread debates got me off course. Any insight is beyond appreciated.
PS- this truck DESERVES to be resurrected. Thanks!
