I am new to the swap game, and have some questions involving a 5.0 swap, it's somewhat difficult to find all my specific questions. I currently have a 1997 4.0 rwd ranger. Automatic. Just wondering which year explorer motor and trans would be best. What years would be easier? Don't some years have a pats, if so which ones are they? I would assume they would be harder to swap, computer wise since my 97 doesn't have pats, atleast I believe so anyway. I hear the motor mounts should work from a 4.0 if I am correct? Also could someone send me a link of a good wiring diagram I would need with some advice? Also would my driveshaft still work for the 4r70w or no? I am an extended cab if that means anything. Any serious clearance issues? Any relatively easy remedies for them? For the most part I would probably get a junkyard engine and slowly build it. What other components would I need from the explorer to make it still work? Sorry if this seems like a lot, but I want to fully grasp the idea of the swap before I make any good purchases.
