would you think it would be easier to use carb?

It can and has been done either carbed or EFI. I prefer EFI myself. Research is key to doing a successful swap and, luckily, there is a lot of info out there for 97-back Ranger V8s.

thanks man. im just looking to do away with some wireing ya know. what transmission would you reccomend ?

A C4 is a popular automatic choice or an AOD because it has overdrive (less highway noise, better fuel economy). Borg Warner "World Class" T5 or B-W T56 for manual.

it has the stock 3.0 and stock tranny. which is manual. so i will most likele stick to manual. im not looking to do any type of racing or anything if that makes a difference

Need to decide what you want first, lots of good information out there, just spend some time reading and you'll be acquiring what you need before you know it. The links rwenzing posted is a good start for sure.

i really have been looking for a step by step video. there has got to be one somewhere

Get a T-5 transmission,
And, its fairly simple to do,
You'll need new motor mounts, of course. So that in itself keeps it from being a straight across bolt up swap.

Not sure about videos, Engine swaps are time consuming so I'm not sure if they would make a video for that

No two swaps are the same. Just need to do it. Not that hard, just very time consuming. Closest thing I think you're going to come to that is a Harwood Performance manual.

im wanting to swap a carburated 302 into my 86 4x4 ranger that has a 2.9 EFI v6 with a 5 speed manual behind it but i want to keep it 4wd and a manual but instead of the 5 speed i want a good used or rebuilt 4 speed but i cant seem to find one that is 4x4 (need some info if anyone knows any websites or anything) and i was wondering if i can use my transfercase i think i can if i buy an adapter kit for it any info would be very much appreciated thank you so much (And when im done ill post pics of how the old danjer turned out)

Also keep in mind inspections. I just finished my swap and did a carbed 302 into an 88 XLT and ran into smog issues.......

fc i would try and look at 4x4 70-79 or so f-100 thats like the only thing i can think of that has a 302 and a manual (its a 3 speed tho) with a transfercase or you could try to find an 80-86 or so bronco/f-150 5 speed there may have been a 4 speed in early 80's broncos/f-150s/f-100 but i dont know off the top of my head

Planning to put a 347 and a T-5 in it eventually

i know i can get a 4speed (just the part about buying one) and i can buy the adapter for the transfercase to bolt to the 4speed (i was thinkin about usin my stock tranny for a little bit at least until it goes boom) ill need to get a bellhousing of a 302 f150 and the inputshaft i just want as much info as i can get like what to do and what not to do if i learn it now then i wont learn it the hard way
