Help with motor and trans swap

[Zero_Cool]

I am in the process of doing a 2.9L to 4.0L swap I am going to use the M5OD manual transmission, and have a few quirks about putting it in.

1. old t-case was toasted by previous owner, and I need to know what one it came with, the donor vehicle is a 92 Ranger

2. What do I have to do to get the manual trans to work with my 87's booster

3. Will putting this trans change my drive train length ?

4. And I was told by the place that is rebuilding the motor that they will need the injector wiring to finish the swap what does it look like, and how do I take it out. p.s.(I am getting a painless kit so I don't have to do hack job wiring.

can you please help me I'm new

Hi, welcome.

1) The 92 will have a BorgWarner 13-54 transfer case. Your existing 1350 should bolt to it, but might need a few things here and there to actually work. If you can't find a 1354 near you the 1350 will at least bolt up and make it driveable, even if the 4x4 doesn't work.

2) Not really sure what you mean there. The brake booster (the only "booster" on the car) has nothing to do with the transmission.

3) Maybe. If your existing transmission is an auto it will not. If you have a manual the M5OD is two inches longer and will require the trans cross-member be relocated to the rear set of holes that were used for the A4LD automatic.

4) The injector harness is the section of wiring in the middle of the engine bay attached to the fuel injectors. It usually has the plugs for the coolant temp sensors, air temp sensor, and IAC on it as well.

They probably only want it because it is nearly impossible to get it on or off the 4.0 once the upper intake is in place. I'd tell them to just tape off the holes in the lower intake and leave the upper off. It makes installation a bit easier. I think.

thank you for the reply, What I meant to say about the transmission, is will the the lines for the slave cylinder that moves the clutch be different

also forgot to mention the 87 is a Bronco II
