Howdy! So I looked into swapping a 95 2.3 into a 93 but it looks like they changed too much to make it doable for me.

So, I found a guy with a nice 92 Mustang 2.3l. It looks like it will swap easily and from what I've found around here it looks like it's an easy switch where I may have to just change the oil pan.

I could use a little bit of confidence in feeling that it's a plug and play operation here from a 92 stang to a 93 (no egr) Ranger. If you know please let me know so I don't buy this motor only to find out I need a whole lot of other things to make it work.

Shoot, already bought one engine that is going to do me no good (pitted cyl walls from sitting water), don't need 3 boat anchors!!!!

Thanks for your time! Ryan-
 
Assuming it's a distributorless engine (I don't know when they switched on the mustangs, I know it was after the ranger but I think it was in '91) it should be pretty close, some of the brackets may be different but you can just swap stuff around to get what you need.
 
Yeah, it looks really similar with the two coil packs. The alternator is in a different spot but yeah that's an easy move with the old brackets. I'm just worried about the electrical hookups, as in I wouldn't want to have to buy a new computer or anything expensive or complicated like that......mechanical I'm fine with, the electronics I border on phobia!
 
use all of the stock wiring and computer... all of the engine sensors will be the same
