Man, I wish I had the time to do something like this to my '97 Ranger. Nice work.

Good job 👍. I like it a lot. I don't have any questions for ya just lettin' ya know that I like the 5 speed swap. I'm in the middle of a 5.0 ranger swap and there's no chance in hell an automatic is going in my truck. I'm glad to see people are doing more 5speeds these days.

Thanks for this video now I have something to go by. Great job

Amazing to see 93-97 Rangers. Not a whole lot of market compared 98+.

Thanks for the information. Plan on swapping my 98 2.5 5 speed.

"Everything works" including all those dash lights 🤣

Damn one helluva nice Ranger build man I wanna get a supercab Ranger but an 80s Supercab and throw a 460bbf Turbo ZF5

Thats a sweet Ranger, I've got a 2000 Extended cab 2wd 3.0. I've been looking into swapping it out for a 5.0, my 3.0 has got over 300k on the ticker

Thanks for great info bud

Only other person I've seen do an explorer interior swap. Looks like I'm gonna have to swap in a 5 speed and 302 to keep up, damn the luck...

Wanting to do this swap in my 1991 explorer. Same frame / TTB layout as your Ranger but different body ( obviously ) as your Ranger but the same as a 1995 and newer Explorer ( i.e. the ECU mounting into the firewall, AC box layout, battery location etc.. What oil pan and motor mounts did you use for the swap and how much room between the water pump pulley and the 4.0 radiator? Did you try the 5.0 or 4.0 clutch fan for fitment? I live in Arizona so removing the A/C, relocating the radiator forward, or only using an electric fan for cooling is not an option with the 120* summers I live in. Figuring out the cooling situation prior to doing the swap is the only thing holding me back. Thanks a bunch!

Sounds fkn good I hear the clicking probably the ac clutch?… other than that looks and sounds good man wish my 93 was like this … this how I personally want my pickup to be

Great video buddy keep us updated.

I have an 86 ranger . May i ask what motor mounts you used? They may be different for mine but just want to get an idea

I put a bull bumper on mine and was wondering what you used for the brush plate under your bumper?

Is the engine complete stock ? Add any minor upgrades before installing? What’s your gas range look like and can you tell a big difference in power ? Thanks in advance.

I know it's an old video but what clutch did you use? I have a stick out of a 97 f150 with the 4.2. I'm not sure if it's the r2 or r1 or not but it looks to be the same trans aside from the r2 being a bit beefier.

Nice build! Any issues with valve cover to heater box clearances like the 80s rangers had?

Can we get an update on how its running today. I know a year later is a long time just wondering how she doing

Well shit, I didn't know the explorer seats and console would fit. Wonder if I can wedge those into an 88

Are you sure that trans isn’t out of 4.2v6 f150? 4.6 has different trans mount holes. 4.2 and 5.0 are the same

Sick bummer bro I’d like one for mine

Any issues with it revving over 3k rpm? I had heard that with the computer thinking it was in Park or Neutral it would not rev over 3k.

Hey man, still got the truck running? Don’t let the V8 rangers die out they’re so damn rare nowadays everyone wants to build new junk!

Are those explorer seats power seats, if so how did you wire them up. Maybe make a how to video on wiring them?

Just bought a 99 ranger with the 30 in it I want to change and put my 95 mustang GT 5.0 high output in it but I want to keep the stick shift do you think that's going to work

I have an 01 XLT that I would like to do the 5.0 swap with, Its currently automatic but i would like to change that to the 5 speed

What did you do for the power steering pressure line?

How did the 2.3 handle the lift and tires before the swap?

How much HP does the 302 have ? Most of the older V8s are barely good for 200 HP and my 2003 Ranger has more than that with a V6 .

Can you tell me how the front bumper works

Cool truck .

I'm looking into building one of these into a prerunner and no one really seems to care much for the 4.0 so I might have to bother you if I get lost in the V8 swap lmao

Nice beard

What fly wheel did you use?

Did you change out the rear end?

Did he mention, wheel/tire size and lift height?

Man I've got so many questions about how you got this right cause it ain't been working out on my 5.0 swap

Any chance you could put together a Bill of Materials used for the swap?

What front bumper is that

Cruise dont work because of the speed sensor you disconected it needs that to work.

My dream is to swap my ranger I love it

How much did it cost to manual swap it?

What boot did you use?? I can’t find one anywhere

You gotta a Instagram by chance so I'd be able to follow your build

Just letting you know that clicking noise is normal it happens on my car to and it drives good

Did you change the computer the one under hood plug into it and all wires running to light

Fuck yes dude I'm throwing a 5.3 in my o4 trailblazer

What are you getting for-gas mileage?

What transmission? What's the mpg

Would this work on a 93 ranger 6cyl? Unsure of liters as I haven’t bought it yet haha

What clutch an fly wheel?

How's that working? I've got a 98 4x4, and a 97 5.0 explorer.. I'm pretty annoyed with all the work just to get it out.. but, the clutch switch, and rev limit??

Hi man are yo usin stock ranger clotch master cylinder on a m5r2

Does it tow good ?

The 4.6 and the 5.0 don’t use the same bellhousing. R u sure it’s wasn’t a 4.2?

Does it matter what yr I get trans I get?

I did the explorer center console swap and have been trying to figure out what shift boot to use, which one did you use. Was it out of the f150 and if so did the f150 already need some kind of a console or did you just modify one that went to the floor? Thanks

What happens if you use the mountaineer transmission system? Won't it work?

Do something about the exhaust, that's ridiculous...

What wheels do you have?

How much did this whole project cost you roughly

Ford really F-Ed up not selling a Ranger with a 5.0/4.6.

Never see a 5 speed 5.0 truck that’s 4x4, why is that?

Could I use a Ford F-150 automatic transmission would it lines up and work

I thought the 5.0 and 4.6 had different trans patern

Whats your mpg?

I want to put a 5.0 in my ranger 🤙📱

Can I pay you to do mine lol

I messaged you on Instagram 304_ranger is my name I had a few questions

the automatic is a 5-speed, so you went from 5 speed to 5 speed LOL

That exhaust set up you have a horrible! Buy a stainless steel header with 3 inch to super 10 and 3-inch out no cat no resonator
