84 ranger 88 150 running gear

[whiteboycv67]

I have an 84 ranger 4x4 i was originally going to do a carb'd 302 swap but i came across an 88 f150 4x4 EFI with a 5 speed i know ill need to change the intake for clearance my questions lie in the transmission and transfer case will it all fit ? and will i need to fab my trans cross-member i stripped the 88 completely frame harness included seeing as im converting the truck to efi

Should fit with no problems. I'm running a 5.0 with qn np435 and np208 with no body lift, but a couple inches would have been nice to help tuck things up under better.

I just strippped a '91 of its engine, transmission, and transfercase.

Do you know what transfercase it has? I'm assuming it's a BW1356. Its a very wide transfercase. I believe you have to notch the frame a little to make it fit. Its a very strong and reliable tcase. Unfortunately its chain driven and it has a pump failure issue.

Assuming the 5spd is a m5od it will fit. If its a zf5 it will not fit without issues.

If it's a zf5, you will need a body lift.

id tag is E8TA JD this is the ZF correct ? it looks like the shifter is about 9 inches farther foreward

With those numbers it is probably an M5OD.

Is the trans bottom rounded and solid, or does it have a big bolt-on plate on the one side?

 

[whiteboycv67]

It is an m5od for sure but shifter is 9 1/4 inches farther back vs stock ranger trans

 

[whiteboycv67]

Sorry meant it's farther forward and do I need to modify or move the cross member ?

 

[whiteboycv67]

ok so i put my transmission m5od in this evening was a tight fit im going to do a 2" body lift now haha i do have a question about the cross member mine is only held in by 2 bolts and the trans is a little far forward and high will a cross member out of a newer ranger or explorer change that ?

 

[whiteboycv67]

ok so evrything is coming together today for the most part but im having issues with the oil pan is there a certain pan that fits right without having to cut it to shreds and weld it back up ?

Try a Mustang Fox body 5.0L double sump pan.....

lots of clearance with body up 3 inches even put the stock cross member back in its original spot im gonna use the mustang convertible motor mounts ordered the body lift too front drive line is gonna be a little tight but i think it will work already have the 8.8 rear under it getting a whole 93 explorer with a bad trans for 100 bucks to get the 35 front found the efi car intakes for 60 bucks at the boneyard its coming together pretty fast now that i got the clearance issue figured if i ever do another one ill start with a 3" body lift

Nice! Its looking good. I just bought a set of the mustang convertible motor mounts for my truck. (My motor mounts broke)

What tcase is that?

 

[whiteboycv67]

I got the Stang mounts today was a bigger pain than the plates I built for my stock ones so I sent them back got a dual sump pan off a bronco I'm setting the motor in again now and that's a 1356 barely fits had to cut about an inch by inch notch in top of frame rail
