Front End Swap?? 97 to 01 Style??

[Lil Ranger]

I want to know can this just be unbolted n rebolted???

Like Fenders Hood Bumper Grill/Lights.. What else??
I would like (If I can) to just Swap the Front Clips..

Do I have to do a alot more then that???
I mainly like how the newer ones look..
But Im not gonna Buy one.. Dont want Payments..

Im gonna be gettin a Lifted 94 n would like to do
a Body Swap, So it "LOOKS" REALLY REALLY NEW..

I would like to swap a OHC 4.0 also..
Does any1 know if the OHC 4.0 will bolt up to a
3.0 OHV Engine??

Thanx,
Rob

ill let you know bout motor, im putting a 4.0 sohc motor from 98 exploder into my 96 ranger 2.3 now, but mines a mud truck not driven on street.
my swap should be easy i just need the motor to run in the truck, no emissions or worries about dash lights being on

This cannot be achieved easily without doing lots of other stuff to make it fit, but it can be done.

im sure like switching an 88 ranger to a 91 front end, im assuming u need to do rad support and all

The 3.0 and 4.0 have different bellhousing bolt patters, so if you swapped the motor you would need the tranny as well.

On the front clip, don't know, never tried it. But I doubt it is simply bolt on/off. Anything can be done, just depends on the work your willing to do.
