1990 ford ranger xlt 4x4

[brohar03]

Hi, kind of a newb here but I have a little problem. I have a 1990 ford ranger 4x4 supercab with the 2.9 liter v6 with over 200k on it. I recently discovered it has a blown head gasket and possibly cracked heads. I talked to a guy that said he can fix it for around $350 but he also said I may be better off just finding another motor and he will drop it in for $150. The question is which years of the 2.9 liter v6 will fit in this truck? I found this one on craigslist: http://roseburg.craigslist.org/pts/1357730866.html Will that fit?


Thanks all!

Have you ever read about swapping in a 4.0. i know there is some involvment but it sounds like the best time to do it.
