460 in 98 ford ranger

[old69ranger]

will a 1975 ford 460 fit into a 1998 ford ranger without having to run a radiator in the back?

If you tuck the radiator under the core support and you can keep the total length of the engine under 33" long, you might be able to get it to fit.

You will have to run electric fans and you probably have to run them in the front of the rad

That swap is being done on a Ranger with a steering box (pre-'98). The '98-up have rack-n-pinion steering which would make the swap a whole lot easier.

Yep. It's been done before.

This one is on propane with a supercharger. LOL
He modified the firewall, but it looks like there might be enough room up front to avoid that.
