People still live in Maine? My bad, next time I'll include a state. oh, and it's OREGON!!!, damn kids

Hmm, an Oregon truck registered in Washington....something tells me this thing ain't gonna pass no emissions test.

No way in HELL that thing is worth $1000 if it doesn't even run.

If it's the "easiest swap in the world to do," why isn't it done?

Oh come on, you just have to finish the wiring

 

[Wicked_Sludge]

easy is a relative term. your still putting an engine that wasnt intended to be there in the truck. theres a lot of wiring to do, and wiring sucks...i can see how a guy could get overwhelmed:

you'd easily pay $1,000 for a running donor turbocoupe...and he already has the engine in the truck. if a 2.3 turbo ranger is what you ultimately want, id say its a good deal

The wiring in that one should be a lot easier than my '84.

 

[scotts90ranger]

the trick on the wiring is to use the trucks engine wiring and splice in the sensors that didn't exist before, in the '87 it would have been a fair amount easier than it was in my '90, and I only had to add like 5 wires to my wiring harness and splice about 5 other wires... but I do have some running issues at the moment...
