It's 2010 and that's for 97 and older trucks. Way to be 13 years too late.

Its for people who own Rangers 83-97 who want to put a 221, 255, 260, 289, or 302 in their play toys. haha!

all 302`s and 5.0l engines have the same engine mounting points on the block

all 2002 5.0l explorer injected engines will bolt in a ranger with that kit

that kit has been available since the beginning of time.

cheese_man, in 2002 explorers didn't have 5.0's do you know any information that is accurate? or do you just think of things and type them?

Got that right...I'm pretty sure those kits have been around since those trucks were nearly new!

i seen 2 at the wrecker and 1 on the hoist at my dealership

( i had seen the v8 emblem on the side ) i asked phil if that was a 99 , he said no it is a 2002 explored )

it was having the tranny replaced
