4BT cummins would be nice lol.

 

Heavy, I imagine hes swaping to something that has good options for Tcases, probably some sort of common V8, or I6.

 

Room for the new engine. Hopefully be picking it up this weekend.

Hopefully.

 

what engine are you getting?

 

...thats one way to put an engine in.

 

According to some factory specs it's ~70+ hp and ~100+ lb/ft.

 

Im guessing you mean its 70hp over your stock 3.0?

Thats roughly 225hp and 285ft-lbs, A older Cobra 302 (93ish) fits that profile.

 

Yes that is the difference b/t the two.

 

a F150 4.6L from 2001 fits that profile also. hmmmm.... This would be my best guess.

 

Nice guess. It's actually a 2v 4.6 out of a '98 town car. Same engine, not sure what the ~10hp difference is b/t the pre '01 and post '01 2 valves are.

EDIT: unless thats when ford switched to the 4 valve. Hmm?

Edit: nevermind, Ford is ****ing weird.

 

damn you let the cat our pretty easy you didnt even let them think over night lol

 

Theres about 2 pages of people asking what engine it is, didn't think I "let the cat out" that easy.

 

a little detective work goes a long way.

 

98 town car might be 4v? But I am not sure, or are you saying in your edit its a 2v? either way its a ford modular motor! cant wait to see it! When do you plan to have it all wrapped up?

What trans and tcase? If you have thought that far. lol

 

It's a 2v. 4v was not offered in the 98 town cars.

and list of 4v

The 4-valve DOHC version of the Modular engine was introduced in the 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII as the 4.6 L Four-Cam V8. Lincoln marketed the engine under the name InTech after 1995.[5]

The 1993–1998 4-valve engines featured cylinder heads with two intake ports per cylinder (split-port) and variable runner length intake manifolds with either vacuum or electrically activated intake manifold runner controls (IMRC) depending on application. The engine was revised for 1999 with new cylinder heads featuring tumble-style intake ports, new camshaft profiles, and fixed runner-length intake manifolds. These changes resulted in more power, torque and a broader powerband when compared to the earlier 4-valve engines.

All 4.6 L 4-valve engines featured aluminum engine blocks with 6-bolt main bearing caps, with the only exception being the 2003–2004 SVT Cobra which had a 4-bolt main cast iron block. The 1999 and earlier engines featured an aluminum block cast in Italy by Fiat subsidiary Teksid S.p.A. Since 1996, all of the 4.6 L 4-valve engines manufactured for use in the SVT Cobra have been hand-built by SVT technicians at Ford's Romeo, Michigan plant.[6]

The 4-valve DOHC 4.6 L engine was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 1996.

Oh yeah that mark viii. that is what i was thinking of for some reason.

 

Looking into a 4r70w but I might not want to deal with the electronics and then I'll go with an aod (depending if there is a model that bolts up to a mod motor).

I know the aode but it's electronic as well, I think?

 

yeah aode is electric.

looks up bauman electronics?? This is what I want to run on my 4r100 behind the 5.4L but I doubt i will get it right away.

allows you to manually control the transmission.

 

how mu$h?

Need someone to buy my old drivetrain so I can afford a new one.

Im guessing your just tubing up the front end? Is it going to be the seat of your pants type of thing or do you have a design done?

 

PI heads maybe??

 

you gonna try to put the front clip back on in anyway to keep the somewhat ranger look? should be awesome when done!!

 

The front will be tube, kind of have an idea but we'll see what I have room for. Will still have a ranger hood and fenders.

 

A buddy of mine here in town has an AOD tranny with 25 spline output installed for the ranger trans case, It's a rebuilt tranny
that he never used, I bet he'd be willing to sell it, but I have no idea how much.

I like the idea of a 4.6 swap. I keep telling my dad I'm gonna steal the motor out of his crown vic to put in the ranger.

I've heard that they're alot wider motor, though.
