I was wondering if a 5.0 block will directly bolt up to my '03 Rangers 4x4 manual transmission? I've been shifting gears for years and would rather keep the 5 speed. I'd love to swap to a 5.0 and add an Explorer AWD t-case to make a cool little AWD V8 Ranger and lower it slightly? I know you can transfer all the Explorer stuff over, but there's some kind of complication with PATS and the VSS, that I don't really want to mess with, unless it's been figured out yet? I remember seeing something about having to take it to a Ford dealer to get the ECU reflashed, but I don't think my local dealer would do that? Still love the old Ranger, but it's getting harder and harder to be able to do anything to them nowadays....
Anyway, thanks for the help?
