engine swap help
Hey everyone I have a 1987 ford ranger 2L 4 cylinder engine, I just got a old beat up pre runner, I believe it has a fuel injected 4 cylinder engine 2.4L, I was gonna do a swap into the 87 cause the 2L has a knock, I need to know if this swap is possible, the more info the better, thanks.

Ford Lima 4cyl engines came in 3 sizes, 2.0l, 2.3l, 2.5l, and were used in Rangers from 1983 to 2001
All had the same engine mounts and transmission bolt pattern
So swapping them isn't too hard.
BUT.......they did change from carb to fuel injection and from distributor to full electronic, these all required computer changes.
