I'm finally doin it

I'm puttin my 4.0 from my ranger(auto) into a early 90 B2 that I bought recently. I've got a 5 day weekend comin up and I figured what the heck. Plus my gf blew up the 2.9 in the B2. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

keep your gf as far away as possible from any vehicles you currently own. i'll also recommend a year-round bus pass as a new stocking stuffer


good luck with the engine swap

do all the research on the wiring up front... it's a pretty straight forward swap. but i had to go sit down a couple times and get away from the wiring. I have an 88 b2 with a 92 exp 4.0... you will love the gain of power over the 2.9 and i get better gas milage

She's driving my tan B2 right now, hence the urgency of getting the other B2 fixed. Tan is holdin up fine, he's next in line for a 4.0. That 2.9 is holdin up pretty good tho.

Update: Got 2.9 out, got 4.0 out. Will I need the power block from my 94 or can I use the one in my 90? My 94 is a 2wd ranger, and my 90 B2 is a early 90 w the D28 and 1350 t case. I'm just wondering how this will effect my 4wd in my B2. I have a manual t case and manual; hubs to put on it if I need to. Just wondering ? Tech library wasn't to specific and I haven't picked up on it anywahere else. I guess this is why everyone suggests using a explorer.

AARGH!!! Plug and play my a$$.

This is a PITA. Will I be able to keep my elec T case since my donor is a 2 wd ranger?
Where is the relay for the tcase on my B2?
What about my power windows?
