try some local junkyards. if they dont have any 4.0 rangers or explorers, you might have to broaden your search area to nearby larger metropolitan areas.

Engines

First of all - go to TRS's Want to Buy forum and post what you want. Then go to the Parts for Sale forum and look around. Take a while, post your Want more than once and you will probably find just the right thing. I did...

Ebay actually has several engines being sold my individuals. Most of the rebuilders and etc. are as expensive as having one built in your area.

Craigslist is also good - as someone mentioned.

This is heresy - but there is another Ranger site - RPS They also have a Want to Buy and Parts for Sale forum also

Talk to your friends, I found a 4.0 at a friends shop. He had to buy the engine to get the wiring harness. I practically stole that one - still runs good.

Also look at car-part.com They have a lot of engines on there. You can select the distance as well so you can see if there are any in your area.

this guy wants 500$ for the whole thing...........
I was temtped to buy it for parts but I am moving to another state in a few weeks.

He said all it needed was a radiator to drive it away, or tow it away for parts.

Oh yea, he wanted only 500$ for it.
