Not sure if this should go here or in the 3.0 forums so sorry if its in the wrong place.
I have a 1999 Ranger 2wd with the 3.0l engine. Im looking for more power and considered the 5.0 but i think the 4.0 is more than enough for my needs. The tech library does not say much about swapping a 4th gen 4.0 into another 4th gen that has a 3.0. Does anyone have any information to this? i would assume that it would be mostly plug and play like the explorer 5.0 is?
Theres a lot of contradiction about this. the tech lib says that the bell housings bolt right up to all ford v6 engines in rangers and that only one bolt wont line up with the sohc version. but then people say they are completely different. ill be getting a whole donor vehicle so i can just its transmission.
