95 Ranger: 2.3L To 4.0L Swap???

[rangerdanger14]

i'm assuming this subject has been widely discussed.. and i'm in a hurry so i didn't wanna spend hours searching.

what would it take to put a 4.0L into my 95 2.3L 5 speed?

how easy would the swap be and what parts would i be other than the motor... would the motor bolt up to the trans or would i need a bigger trans?

You need to change the transmission since the bellhousing bolt patterens are different unless you have a tranny that ha a bellhousing that can be swaped. But seeing as you have a 95 tranny, I dont think that the bellhousing cames off meaning, your after a tranny too. You will have to swap wiring harnesses and computers too but your fuel system should be fine.

Different years of 4.0 have different stuff on them so you will have to research what years are the best.

sounds like it'll cost more than my power ranger is worth.. oh wow.. it was a fun 10 minutes of thinking while i was at it.
