Engine swap ideas?
I'm looking to possibly swap my 4.0 and drop in a V8...what's better the Triton 5.4 or 5.0? And if I dropped in the 5.4 or 5.0 could I re use my current tranny.
Anyone ever considered a V10? Would there ve enough room for a V10?
I'm in a 2002 Fx4

Wat. Youd better be a damn good fabricator to put in a 5.4 or a v10.
302 or 351 is the easiest way to go. If you go carb'd, its super simple. Things hardest part would be the motor mounts.

Re: Engine swap ideas?
The 302 would be by far the most common and easiest V8 Ranger swap. You can easily build it over 300HP, which isn't bad at all.

Because the engine has to be of the same model year or newer in most places and seeing how the 302 was dead after 01 it wont be a legal swap
