Any thoughts on putting the sohc into my ranger? I'm planning on picking up a 91 or so explorer and a later model explorer for parts, the front end and dash out of the earlier one and the rear end out of the later model, it's getting a 4.0 one way or another so if you had both sitting there getting parted out why not do the sohc? It's my understanding it will bolt in, and emissions equipment is optional for this project so any extra space taken up by that isn't of much concern. I'm going for as much modern convenience as I can get inside, and in drive ability and naturally the increase in hp and decrease in noise of the sohc would help. So I guess the main questions would be how big of a pain is it to adapt the earlier dash, unless a later dash would fit, and is it worth the extra effort?
