What's going on guys! I'm looking at swapping a 5.0 into my 01 ranger. I have found a donor vehicle but unfortunately I cant take the whole vehicle because I don't have anywhere to store it and it also doesn't have a rear axle. The guy that has the vehicle is willing to work with me to get everything I need for the swap and for the most part I have everything listed to get but I'm having issues with figuring out how to go about making all the automatic stuff work in the truck. Its a single cab short bed and its 5 speed. Generally I would keep it standard but the deal I'm going to get on everything as is and my long term plans for the truck its best to just go ahead and make it automatic now. Do I need to get the explorer cluster and steering column or should I just make it a floor shift? Is there anything else I need to grab other than the obvious brake pedal from the automatic. Thanks in advance guys!
