Easiest would be get a pre 2000 truck and put it in that.

Easiest would be go with a carb install wise, if you ahve experience getting them just right. Gas milage wise FI is the way to go, worth the extra wiring work in the end.

Find a running low miles exploder parts truck with 4wd, get a welder, gather tools, swap away.

If you're down for a challenge, find one not running and rebuild it. I'd go with a running expo with low miles, then do seal gaskets etc. Then it should be solid.

I meant 2000 or older, I now see I said pre 2000. IMO those would be easy peasy compared to the newer trucks.

Don't get discouraged though, It can be done to a 2011, it's jsut a little more work. :-P

The world needs more 5.0 Rangers.

Find ya an AWD 5.0 Explorer & EVERYTHIN swaps right over!

I have a customer/friend that has built 2 ofem, a Std. cab & a Supercab. His DD is a Supercab 4x2 with 5.0 Explorer motor & auto.

His FIRST was a 302'd 85 std. cab with T5 5spd....he's maticulas, and you coulda ate off any part of that truck & it looked FACTORY!
