98 2wd ranger 5.0 swap, motor mount question
I have a 98 2wd extended cab ranger with coil springs. I have done pulled the 3.0 and trans out. I bought a 97 awd explorer with a 5.0 engine. The trans is locked up but i just wanted the engine. I know alot of guys use 4.0 engine mounts and use the custom engine plates to mount he engine. My question is can i use the explorer 5.0 moints in my ranger? It looks like i would just need to drill a new hole in the engine crossmember and both them in. Will this work and give me the engine clearance needed? I have googled for the last 2 days and cant find where anyine has done this so i am assuming it cant be done but i just wanted to ask to be sure. Thanks for the help guys!
