While reading Nashlasvegas' description of swapping engines in his Ranger, I saw your post re: swapping the same engine. I have a 2002 3.0 V-6, auto tranny, 4x2, and can use some more power. I do NOT want to do the modified rebuild Nashlasvegas did; a stock 302 is fine as well as cheaper and easier... I hope. How did your engine swap go? If you described the swap in the Forum, would you provide me with a link? Thanks mucho.
