Motor mount question

[Bob Hatcher]

Is there a specific left and right motor mounts (different) for a 2000 Ranger with a 4.0 engine? The reason that I ask is, to use the adapter plates in order to drop my 302 into my Ranger, I have to use 4.0 mounts. When I ordered them from Rock Auto, it stated L or R so i ordered 2 of them but I had since seen, on line, someone stating that the could only order a mount for one side and the mount for the other side was unavailable. Thanks in advance of answers for me

2 different parts. Both are available on Rockauto as of right now.

Wondering what the difference is in mounts from side to side when mounting a 4.0 in a Ranger - my Ranger originally had a 3.0 in it and I can see the big difference in mounts for a 3.0 - the driver's side is maybe 3 inches higher that the Pass side

Looks like locating pin orientation mostly.

I just wanted to say that you were correct in the locating pin location - it is about 1/4 inch further apart from the threaded stud - I found one on Rock Auto that was specific for the left side using a 4.0 engine and it fit right in place
