[jwhtd]

1992 ford ranger 2wd 3.0, looking to do an engine swap from a 2001 ford ranger 4.0, the 01 has pats but the 92 dose not have have pats system any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Why did you choose an 01 donor? Nothing matches for that swap. PATS, fuel system, electrical, transmission…

Not saying it can’t be done because it has been done on here but I would consider this to be an advanced level swap. The easy 4.0 swap is to stick with a 1990-1994 donor. That is as close to plug n play as possible, you just need engine, trans, computer and wiring.

If you’re after power, a 95-97 Explorer donor with a 5.0 is the easiest performance swap.

I got the 01 4.0 engine and transmission from a friend, also have the wiring harness that plugs into the pcm , he got rid of the truck before I could get anything else including the PCM, Thanks

How's your wiring skills?

Manual or automatic transmission? That's gonna make a big difference here.

Automatic Transmission, I'm pretty good with wiring and reading a meter, Thanks

you make the engine run on the stand. that is stand alone..

then fit the fuel system. https://www.ievilenergy.com/?utm_ca...72timcRfHi5Iz40mXcKp59C7PKt9LZFAaAoRoEALw_wcB



get the numbers and find most of it on amazon. fairly cheap.

ac lines and tooling as well though fitting oem stuff is doable.

Can I use Forscan to delete pats?. not sure what wires I would need to to do a stand alone, I do have the wires still attach to the engine, I also have a electrical wiring book from ford just not sure what wires, Thanks
