351W to 1990 2.9 Ranger
Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum but am eager to get some ifo on my project. Here's what i'm working with, I have to work with: 1990 Ranger 2.9 V6 5 speed 4x4, and my donor truck: and 83 F150 4x4 with a 351W i'm am not to sure about the tranny yet. My main question is with some fabrication can i use the tranny, transfer case and gearing out of the front and rear end of the F150?
Any info will be very helpfull, as far as the engine swap its self i do have a pretty good idea on what needs to be done.
Thanks

first an 83 f150 is not solid its ttb. so that swap is alot harder its been done but alot harder.
second yes an f150 tranny and tcase will work you will probably have to make some room for them. a body lift help makes alot of room for v8 swaps. do a little research around here and you will find tons of info.

Just telling you from experience, if you don't have money to burn you are better off leaving the engine alone. A custom engine swap is big money alone. Then add a high horsepower engine build, or even a cheap stock engine rebuild, you are still talking major cash. The people who start without the budget in the bank usually give up and part their vehicles out after a year or so. Homework, Homework, Homework, is the key. Know what you need to do, know what it is going to cost to do it right, then double it for the unknown. After that you should be good to go IMO.
