I have a 2001 ranger with a 2.5l, and i am wanting to swap the 5.0 exploer moter in it. i have heard that it is a direct swap plus the harness of course. i need to know how true the information is and guidance into the direction i need to go with this swap as far as if i can direct swap the tranny info as well as the rear end because i know that the stock 2.5 rear end and tranny prolly wont withstand the 5.0 motor lol. any help would greatly be appriciated. my biggest question is should i go buy an explorer and swap the two or buy parts direct. Thanx
