Hello, I have been considering a V8 swap on my 1988 Ranger GT. I have read some articles and forum posts on here about V8 swaps and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of agreement on what route to go. I would prefer a carbureted swap because of the simplicity, and I'd be looking for 250-300 rwhp to make the swap worthwhile. Some good options for this swap seem to be the 4.6, 351w, 302 or a 347 stroker. I'm just looking for some guidance on the difficulties of this swap, carbureted vs fuel injected and any other advice. I know the 5.0 swap from the explorer is the easiest, however that engine doesn't make enough power to be worth the time in m opinion. I would like to keep the budget for the swap below 6k and a manual transmission is a must. Hope you all have some advice and knowledge to give.
Thanks, Evan
