95 ranger 351c swap

[stupid kyle]

Hey yall, i am wanting to swap out my 4.0 in my 95 with a 351c. I got a 5 spd behind the 4.0 and was wondering what trannys i could use to hook up behind it. want to stay manual. and also what transfer case upgrade i could make. i know that i am gonna have to get new driveshafts and what not. my truck sits on 38.5x15x15 boggers and want a little more hp to help turn them. any help would be appreciated

With the width of the 351C I would think that getting one in the engine bay would be much more on the challenging side and you would also be very limited on exhaust selection or you would have to fab up some headers of your own.

Even with the good L and L Products oil filter relocater kit the clearance is still pretty tight for the steering gear box. Just my 2 cents, but I think I'd rather find a 5.0.

But if you have some extra skill, time, and can put up with a lot of frustration, and for that matter are good with a hammer and torch anything is possible and it would be very unique to say the least. Good luck and keep posted on your progress.
