I'm looking to swap my 2000 Ford Ranger with a Nissan 350z engine, I was wondering if anyone's done this and what all was involved with it.

 

Welcome to the forum

No, I doubt anyone has done that swap specifically

First you need to get the dimensions of the engine you want to use
WIDTH is the big deal with Rangers, the 302/5.0l V8 is 20" wide and barely fits between heater box and steering shaft, exhaust is VERY VERY tight

If its a V6 or 4cyl then length shouldn't be an issue

height can be taken care of with body lift if needed


You will need engine/trans, computer and its wiring harness

If a manual trans then shifter placement can be an issue, just need to measure for that

 

i think its possible though, but I have never doe it before.
