I have a 1993 Ranger with 3.0L engine 5 speed tranny...My engine needed to be replaced because of afew problems it had....So now i'm looking for another engine..Could anyone give me the years that would be a direct fit for my 1993? I read something and believe it was saying that the engine i'm looking for was put into 1992-1994 Rangers. But if anyone could confirm this info for me that would be fantastic. The reason i ask is a have been offered a good running engine from a 1991 for $150 so if it is a direct fit i will take that offer...I just want to try and avoid haveing to rewire things and such...its n ice when you can pull a engine and drop in an engine and just hook everything back up. please respond if you can help. Thanks

 

I'm pretty sure that, that engine will fit. For $150 its worth it to get it anyways. I know that I believe in 95 they switched from distributors to coil packs but I'm pretty sure if you have all the extras for your engine that any 3.0L engine could work.

 

Was it 95 they switched to coil packs or 94??? I know in my 94 Ranger with 4.0L it had the coil pack...But 3.0L could be later...who knows...But anyways thanks for the help Dagger!! Very much appreciated!!
