I have an 88 ranger, with 2.9/auto. IThe 2.9 has seen better days after digging into it. I found a guy parting out a 93 mustang, 2.3 /auto and I could get the ECM/harness/motor and trans at a pretty decent price. Would this be a fairly straight forward swap using the mustang harness and ECM? Or would it be alot better to find a ranger harness and ECM?
i also found another guy with a 2.3 5 speed transmission from a ranger, so I may end up doing a 5 speed swap along with a 2.3. That would require a 5 speed ECM correct? and 5 speed trans harness?
In the long run my goal is to convert the 2.3 to a 2.3T. I just havent had any luck finding a 2.3T complete motor and I came across this mustang motor at a pretty cheap price since it comes with everything.
Is there something I am missing besides motor mounts?
