Hello all, Just joined this forum. I've looking at for some time as i'm in the process of swapping a V8 into 97 4x4 Ford Ranger. So far i have gathered a 351W, a c5 from a broncoII and a 3" body lift. I have found many helpful topics on here and will be looking for more info/ options for wiring the carberated engine into the 97 body. Thanks.

Check out Engine section and Conversion section for V8 swap Ranger info

Not much engine wiring needed for carb/distributor systems
12v key on, for spark
Oil pressure wire
Temp sender wire
Tach wire(optional)

Need a 12v key on for alternator, this wire comes from Battery light in dash, light green wire on current alternator, can't be used for spark
