RANGER SWAP

that'll help you out on the exhaust and mounts, not sure about the oilpan though.

thx bud! I got a mustang oil pan and found that it does work. The only problem im having right now is the headers which i have found but it will suck to change my plugs. and the wiring tie in for the AOD trans i have in to the mountaineer wiring harness which i am using.

Check out www.therangerstation.com ...there's another site as well, but I can't remember it right now. You should be able to find a lot of usefull info there.

Sorry - found it! http://www.rangerpowersports.com/forum/
If you're running the "P" heads, then you will have some clearance issues on the plugs & wires. Mac makes a specific header for them, but I don't know how they'll fit in your Ranger. Long tubes are also known to work, but again... Anyway, browse these sites & see. I know you're not the first to do this, so there should be some good advice there.

the Exp/Mounty oil pan will work fine. The mounts would work if you were in a 98+ truck. Use Foxbody Mustang convertible engine mounts, but swap sides. Ive been on RangerPowerSports for a long time, read a lot about the 5.0 Ranger swap, but never pulled the trigger.
