5.0 swap in a 2008 ranger

[little white 08]

Hey guy's i am new soo sorry for any mistakes made. I would just like some help on the good ol 5.0 sawp. I have read that it's pretty much a plug and play type deal if you get the 5.0HO truck motor form an explorer or mountianer with the full pcm? I am looking to keep my truck 2 wheel drive, and i am not looking to do anything to fancy or to expensive. i just want a bigger motor to get my jobs done. As of right now i have the 2.3l duratech with the automatic trans. I am not really worried about parts as i am the technical side such as the pcm and the harness and everything to get the motor running. soo let me know i have seen it done i just need more to go off of. Thank you.

Well first of all welcome to TRS. To help answer your question you should check out the technical library. Theres hours of useful info there about just about anything to do to your truck. Check out this link, http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/V8Conversions.html

Thank you very much for that info, and its a base model soo you would say the 5.0 fuel injected swap wouldnt be anything to hard right ?
