Go for it. I have owned my ranger for 14 yrs with the lame 2.9. I am tired of having no power and an engine with a poor management system. I have been a licensed mechanic for years working on all the brands, and I wanted the best bang for my buck. So over the past few months I have been gathering parts. This weekend I start the transplant. 5700 Vortec with a 4L80 trans.

Use what you have, a real custom is that. Not brand specific.

If I did not want a load of power just reliability I would have used a Volvo B230FT
