Been looking at engine swaps for the ranger and trying to make a decision on what to get. I heard the 383 is an excellent truck engine due to bore and stroke size.
From my knowledge I can go with the 383, a TH350 or 400 transmission, and Transfer case
What transfer case should I need and what am I in for - what should I expect to be doing?
A big concern is while I am researching this I am swapping the rear axle for a Ford 8.8 31 spline and a front Dana 35 - I am concerned that I am possibly missing something when I have to a different transfer case? Are there any problems to consider with this build concerning my intended swap and the axles compatibility?
