So I'm wanting to do that engine swap into my Ranger, and as I have read throughout the article I still have some questions.
First off, its going in my 2007 2WD Sport, so is that even viable? Or will it only work with the 4x4?
Secondly will it bolt up to my transmission? Or will I need an adapter plate or just swap it entirely? I think the 07 Sport uses the 5R55E.
What problems can I run into swapping into such a newer model? I know I will need that 96-97 model explorer.
Finally if it's possible to do such, what performance parts can I get to beef up the 5.0L a bit? Nothing crazy but some preventative parts/performance.
