Hey guys, i figured id do a build thread on this thing, cause ive found very few on 351w swaps, ive been a long time lurker, first time poster, and recently made an account. I picked this truck up as a roller (that didnt roll due to a locked up rear end) several months ago to do a v8 swap on...

I have a new ranger I'm starting on but this ones getting a 351w. I'm doing a lot of stuff already and have the wires hidden in the dash, extended the control arms out 4.5", and tubing fender wells. Battery's going behind the seat. And a few more things will be done but I wanted to ask opinions...

I have a 2003 ranger edge with a 5.0 now and I'm looking into swapping it for the 351w and I know what it takes to do this swap. I'm trying to figure out the hardest parts before I attempt it like oil pan, headers, 28oz balancer for explorer FEAD, and cam position sensor and that's what this...

Hello, I have a 1983 Ford Ranger with a 351windsor and an AOD transmission (both from 1983). My tranny won't shift out of first. I've narrowed it down to either a stuck valve or a stuck governor. My question are the valves on the valve body supposed to be pushed in and out easily or are they...

Hello, I have a 1983 Ford Ranger with a 351 Windsor and an AOD transmission. For some reason, it will not shift out of first gear (reverse works fine). I adjusted my TV cable properly with a pressure gauge, made by MAC, so I know that's not the problem. I was wondering if there are any common...

Hello, I have a 1983 Ford Ranger which i'm putting a 351 windsor (w/ AOD) in it and I need to know how to connect up the vacuum hoses. If anyone has a diagram that would be fantastic. I believe the engine is from the 70's, but not 100% sure. I have a holley 4bbl on it as well. Also, if anyone...

Ok, Im confused. I tried to use the stock 302 firing order during my first start on a 5.0 H.O. and I actually GOT IT RUNNING. But it was stalling when I went into gear and back firing when I would initially give it gas. Then while I was watching some youtube videos I learned that H.O. motors...

Alright so I have a 2000 ranger I'm putting a 351w into and I'm just curious about the motor mounts. It looks like since 1998 the motor mounts used for the 4cyl are the same as the ones used for the v6's in the rangers. Is this true? And if so, will I just be able to build a plate to go from...
