Hello Everyone I'm Lucas and just bought a 1997 Ranger XLT... It has a 2.3 Liter 4 cylinder engine.... I want to do a whole engine swap!... Possibly a good V8 engine...
I have two questions... What kind of V8 do you all recommend? Like what's a really good fit for my Ranger with alot of Horses
And also if I was to do this engine swap... Will I have to find a transmission to go with it... Someone told me I would need to change out my rear end because a V8 would be too much to handle for the stock gears on now!...
I'm new to the Ranger game and could use as much advise as possible thanks!

Or possibly considering an old crate engine.. What about that?
