Easiest 5.0 swap
Hello I am gonna swap my 3.0 ranger to a 5.0 so my question what year explorer do I need to swap with as lil headache as possible I have an 01ranger

Welcome to the forum
Because of the Returnless fuel system in the 2001 Ranger you will want a 1999-2001 Explorer V8 2WD if yours is 2WD You need the engine computer(PCM) and the PATS module(above glove box), they are a match set, and the Explorer key(s) to activate PATS module No swap is easy, even replacing with same size engine can have its issues But this swap has been done many many times so look around and you will find a similar swap Some info here: https://therangerstation.com/Magazin..._v8_swap.shtml |

As Ron said, you'll want one from a '99-01 Explorer V8 2wd.

Other wise you'll be buying a $1000 + worth of 99 to 01 Explorer 5.0 parts to make it fit. |

If you want EFI then you need the Explorer upper and lower intake manifolds because they sit lower in the engine bay |
