Re: 98 ranger 2002 explorer
Anything is possible with loads of cash and time. This is one that would be high on the cost and difficulty scale.
The most common V8 upgrade is using the 5.0L engine from a mid '90s Explorer.

Having the trans in park (or any other gear) should allow the engine to turn. There is no mechanical connection between the engine and drive train on an automatic transmission truck.

Re: 2008 Ranger 3.0 PO302 idle misfire only
The next step is to do a compression test and leak down test. These should pinpoint a valve issue or point to something else.

Re: 4.0 sounds like a diesel with none of the power you would expect from one
Huge blowby and misfire could indicate a hole in the piston. It will be interesting to see what kind of compression results you get. The diesel sound you have could be rod knock or piston slap.

I would think you could take it to an exhaust shop and have the bad section cut out and a new piece put in.

Re: K&N Cold Air Intake
Most of the pictures here look like they replaced the factory CAI with an aftermarket HAI. Pulling the air box out to suck up under hood air is not considered adding CAI to your truck.

Re: pump up the 3.0 hamster?
From the picture the combustion chamber looks smaller on the non-flex heads and it will increase the compression ratio not decrease it.

Re: 2003 Ford Ranger Edge 4.0L V6 Misfire
The problem is when the valve opens the pool of gas gets sucked into the cylinder. Extra gas from a bad injector is going to get sucked into the engine at some point.

Re: '90 2.9 leaking gas onto driver exhaust manifold
Sounds like it. It sits on the back drivers side of the fuel manifold, 2 fuel lines and a vacuum hose going to it.
Fuel leaking on exhaust manifold is bad.

Re: 5 speed transmission acting up
Sounds to me like your 1st gear syncro is out, or the shift fork is messed up. My first guess would be the syncro, my truck is very high mileage and hard to shift into 1st after sitting in neutral.

Re: 2000 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 - XLT - 98,xxx
If this year has an MAF sensor in the intake clean it first. That's what causes the lean codes on my Expy.
