Ordered the V8 swap book
I ordered the V8 swap book from MRE books. Some of you are already familar with it. For now i'm just kickin around the idea of swapping a 5.0 into my truck.
So i'm just gaining knowledge and kickin tires for now. If anyone else is wondering about this book, here's a link to it. Looks like it's loaded with good stuff and i've read a few members on here who say they like it. -Mike-

i could see on the title of the book it applied towards 83-96 Rangers so my thinking is if the 92-96 body style rangers shares some things that of the 98-00 body styles then i could pick up a few pointers. the only way i'll keep this truck a few more years is if i swap a V8 into it, otherwise i'm selling it or trading. -Mike-

The Ranger engine compartment, front frame and front suspension layout changed completely from 97 to 98. This changes so much about a 302 swap that it might as well be a different vehicle line. The MRE swap manual is a pretty good book but the installation and part information just doesn't apply to a 98+ Ranger.

I saw that Advance Adapters has one as well. Anybody have an opinion about theirs?
