So I have a motor out of my 1997 parts truck. I found a 1998 Ranger that needs a motor for 800. It has good tires and brakes and would be very worth putting a new motor in.
My questions is, How compatible are the 1997 and 1998 motors? I read in the tech library that they made some changes between 1997 and 1998. Could I put the 1997 in with the harness from the 1998? Or just put the complete 1997 harness and motor in the 1998?
This is my first time with a motor swap and I must confess, motors are what I know the least about. (Have not had any problems that have given me a reason to learn yet.) It will be a learning experiance. Thanks guys!
