i am putting a 99 4.0 sohc from an explorer into my 99 3.0 ranger. i believe the swap will be pretty simple the only problem i see is fuel pressures the sohc runs a 65-75 psi where my 3.0 runs at 30-40 how could i increase my fuel pressure can i just change the regulator? will the entire explorer pump assembly fit in my tank? need help!!!

A pump from an 01 Ranger would be my first attempt. Even it you just install a pump onto the exsisting sending unit.

is the regulator in that assembly, swapping the pump wouldnt do much if i still had the 3.0 regulator, i might just get the entire tank system for a 01 sohc ranger.

will an 01 fuel pump assembly fit in my gas tank? or would a 99 explorer fuel pump assembly fit in my tank. its looking to me like they changed the design in 01 so an 01 pump might not fit in my tank
