I know this isn't a popular way to get a V8 under the hood of a ranger, but I have my reasons lol. I know some have done it with F150 frames, which are pretty similar. Does anyone know how to center the fender wells over the front wheels and also clear the engine/firewall? On a ranger the engine mounts to the cross member, on a bronco/f series it mounts to separate brackets behind the cross member. So the engine is already several inches further back, and then the ranger firewall is a few inches further forward. Do i mount the engine further forward somehow? Rebuild the firewall around the engine?
