What year 4 cyl. Engines fit a 1996 Ranger
What other years 4 cylinder engines are simple direct swaps to replace a 1996 2.3? Don't want to swap heads or intakes or change electronics. Just pull complete motor and bolt 2.3 accessories to it. It is a 5 speed truck and has no AC from the factory, if it matters..
Appears as if the 2.5 replaced the 2.3 shortly after 1996 and may be the same, but IDK if any other changes were made that would complicate the matter. Have located multiple 2.5's for cheap nearby, but not 2.3's except older versions that have very different ignition and intake setups.
So what years are direct swaps for 2.3 and will the 2.5 work from certain years also?
Thanks, Mike
