ok so fun scenario that ive got and i just wanna make sure ive got this worked out. I have a 1999 ford ranger 2.5 manual 2wd thats about at the end of its life for the motor and long story short im not willing to fix it id rather spend more and change it. At the parts yard i can get a 4.0 sohc from a few different 98-00 rangers but none are manual. Theres also a 2000 explorer sport trac with a 4.0, manual, 2wd, and a D2 8.8. But its motor is toast (front end damage but trans and axle survived.) If i get the motor, mounts, and and accessories from one of the rangers and then the ecu, harness, trans, and axle from the explorer (i know i dont need the exle but i want it anyway cause lsd and 4.10 gears) would there be anything im missing to drop it in? And harness issues? Am i missing anything? If what i read is right/if i read it right, then that should be all i need for a near factory install. Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
