88 ranger swap with 302

[blugoo12]

which would be best swap my 2.9 4 speed fuel injection motor with a 302 manual or automatic

it depends on what you want... i started off with an auto, then graduated to a manual when my wants changed, the good thing is, since mine was already a manual vehicle (like yours) and i left the clutch parts in place when i had the auto, it simplified the manual installation. i now have a 5.0 with a NP 435 and was able to do it ALL with j/y parts! i used my stock clutch master cyl and res., and the hose, external slave and everything else from the donor vehicle.

It can go any of a few dozen ways. It all depends your wants, need abilities and most of all how much cash you want to throw at it. Best rule of thumb; fast, cheap and reliable....pick two of the three.

?

 

[blugoo12]

i have an automatic tansmission i would like to know if it woul be better to keep the fuel injection or go to a carb

 

[red85]

Keep the EFI. Why would you go backwards?

 

[blugoo12]

i like to have a 4 barrel carb not sure if its worth it

Throw that carb on there if its your first v8 swap. Its much easier to learn on and understand how things work...and go from there.
