2.0 to 3.0 v6 swap???
Have a 88' ranger with a 2.0 4cyl manual. My girlfriend has a car she isn't going to use and it's a 2002 Ford Taurus 3.0l v6 automatic.. How hard would it be to swap her motor into my truck

You will need a computer, wiring harness, and intake manifold at least from a Ranger.

Have you ever looked under the hood? The motor is sideways and has the trans connected to the side. You could not just "throw" it in your truck. Also you wouldn't gain much performance wise

If it was logical, the 3.0 would actually be a nice performance upgrade from the 2.0.

Would be a lot easier and better performance if he just added a turbo

Re: 2.0 to 3.0 v6 swap???
It's the same basic motor, but the intake is different.
Also, it may be 'quick' in a Taurus, but a Taurus weighs 1000 lbs less than a Ranger.

I guess anything is possible...just don't plan on tossing that engine in on saturday and firing it up on Sunday.
But if you do decide to then you and your gal for a time, would have 2 vehicles each without an engine...
That part doesn't make sense to me lol
