First off, what an excellent site, I'm glad I found it.
OK, I've read numerous posts, & have also checked the in the tech section.
Here's my situation/question.
I have a 1983 Ranger 4X4, w/ a 2.8l, & 4 speed manual trans. I want to put a carbed 302 w/ an auto trans (3 or 4 speed) into it.
What do I need exactly (motor mounts, adapters, etc.)?
What be be the best donor vehicles for my wants?
I've read that you can use full size F-150 motor, trans, and transfer case.
Do I have to relocate my transfer case? Custom trans mount? Relocated crossmember?
I don't want anything to do with computers or massive wiring conversions.
I have done motor swaps before, but never a conversion.
A complete list of what's needed and a step by step instruction tutorial would be ideal if anyone could help me with this.
I live in Canada and this vehicle is excempt from any smog laws.
Any & all help is greatly appreciated. Thanx
