I’m looking to rebuild a 4.0 in a Ranger, but I’m wondering about mixing 2 engines to make one, and if it will work. I have a 94 4.0, but it was it was in a pretty hard wreck, and I believe the block may be cracked. I was wondering if I could take everything from the 94 engine except the crank, timing gear, and oil dipstick tube and put it into a 97 block.
Or would it be better to source another 94 block?
I’m wanting the 97 block bc it has more strengthening gussets and thicker oil pan rails to prevent NVH.
