Who all out there has successfully swapped in a modular 4.6L or 5.4L into a ranger?

 

I do! My swap required swapping keys though not engines lol

 

Beard is working on a 5.4

 

I -really- want to put a 4.6 DOHC into my truck - those engines are bad ***, damn torquey!

Well worth the 7 grand - full ford racing aluminum block on there... Im sure size wise it could be fit into the engine bay with a little work!

 

more like this...



i cant wait to get mine in. i need to start on it

 

Hah, is that the 11 grand one? or is it one of the 17-18 grand ones? It has the screw on there doesnt it? ugh.. wish I had one of those.. and a manual tranny built to back it up and put power to all 4 wheels ugh.. that would take lots of money.. lots and lots =)

 

He pulled his out of a Navigator, its not a brand new engine.

 

X2

 

i have a 5.4......but its not in my ranger. lmao. its in the f150

 

So anybody here actually completed this swap?

 

Nobody?

 

I think someone on RPS has havent they?

4.6 Dohc into 93 Ranger - Ranger Power Sports Forum

4.6 Swap - First test fit - Ranger Power Sports Forum

4.6 into gen 2 4x4 - Ranger Power Sports Forum

I am putting a 4.6 into 85 Ranger. - Ranger Power Sports Forum

 

Thanks. Any more?

 

the 4.6 should be fairly easy, they come factory in the sport tracs so should fit into a ranger no problem

 

Not even close. V8 Sport Tracs are not even close in the engine bay.

Take a gander at the list above you first.

 

this is all the further i am now

 

Yea...mod motors are WIDE, and require some addition fitting. Sure it can be done, just have to have the mad skills to do it haha.

And the motor Zach posted is the 5.4 out of the GT500...

 

Yes, it's easy. You stack hundred dollar bills on top until the sucker slides right in. This one here is mine and has only been running for a couple of weeks. I'll post a build when and if I get it back form a Calif road trip.

today i was thinking about the f-150 engine swap some info on it would be good hope some one out there has done it

 

Looks like Ranger Power Forum has all the tech guys.

 

no more specs? details? id like to read some on it.

 

Best looking swap I've seen

 

I've done it. 4.6 into a 85...

 

Here is a link to a few pics. I'm not very good at adding photos yet. This is a 95 with a ford Racing aluminator long block and T-56. I had all the extras for the engine. The rear is the stock 8.8 housing with 4.10 ford gears and an Auburn ECTEC electronic locker and 31 spline Moser axles.
My photos are on Image Shack. I think this one will get you to my images. [IMG][img=http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/3371/0802i.th.jpg][/IMG] I've got a bit more done but don't have any photos yet.
