I have a remote shifter i built for my ranger. Dual linkage short throw shifter using only commonly available, cheap parts. I can post a video today showing it once I clean the truck out. Will also be doing a 5.0L and I cant imagine the shifter being an issue as mine is fully adjustable forwards and backwards and for throw. Let me know if you want to see it and ill update you when it's uploaded.
Was the driveshaft original to the truck or was it made to fit the 8.8 rear differential everything I've seen says the transmission spline count is different between the two Ranger says 28 and F150 says 30/31 whatever that means I bought a 5 speed manual transmission from a 1995 F150 and I'm trying to do this swap in my 1988 Ranger my trucks a regular cab short box any help would be appreciated.
Hello Jake I'm currently living in the nightmare of da 5.0 swap . Now what your gonna wanna do is check out the junk yards around you . Alright Alright I'm gettin to it! Explorer 96-01 (note your probably going to need a 96 ecm to bypass chip key) The explorer came with gt40 5.0 . Hope it helps lot's a luck to yall.
Hello I’m looking at a 5.0 swap on my 94 I have a few questions 1 what year truck do you have 2 what exhaust manifolds did you use 3 is my train of thought correct I have a 5.0 explorer motor m5r2 97 and up 4.2 f150 use stock 89 ranger clutch master cylinder for the 7/8 bore stock mid 90s f150 flywheel and starter and clutch 97 and up master cylinder from the f150 was going to go to ricks rangers for adapter plates and use 4.0 motor mounts is that about right would be happy for feed back thank you
Allow me to put some learnin up on to it just taking about shifter cut the shifter shaft 2" below where it would make contact with the dash . Then weld it to a 30 degree angle that should do fine or personal preference. Good day to yall........yes I'm from Floriduahh
i’m putting a 1999 ford-f150 v6 4.2l transmission and a 5.0l v8 ford explorer engine into a 2006 2.3l manual ranger will that all bolt up and what about the wiring because i just got all of the wiring out and I found a engine for $1,200 and it has 55k miles on it and the transmission has 65k miles on it but it’s 750$
I'm using a 1995 Mustang GT engine and 5speed manual transmission, in a 1991 Ranger, will I have the same shift-er lineup? And what should I be doing about the clutch?, The Ranger was a hydralic and the mustang was a cable.
You u ever heard of a website called the ranger station?if not look it up.theres ton of info and very smart individuals on there that can't point u in the right direction.im currently doing a v8 swap on my 1987 ranger with same donor 1995 mustang u have.if it wasn't for the ranger station is be toldly lost without them.u weren't regret believe me.hooe this help
1996 v6 f150 fits perfectly
It does, but this 94 trans was 50 bucks, the other one was 450.
Would it work on a b2000?
@@josephfriedrich9792 will work with that I have one just engine swapped waiting on a junk trans for it love rangers my second one g
But it's not a v8

You got any advice for a 5.0 swap?
Got a 88 ranger w/351w. Currently has busted C4. Got a T5 minus bell housing.
Just waiting to get parts.
Congrats on swap.
Why didn't u use a t5?shifter position wouldn't been so close to the dash
T5 will be a lot farther back almost hitting the seat

I believe it was a 95 F150 and 94 Ranger. Used the ranger driveshaft with no issue.
Did you have to do anything with the computer?
ok what pcm did u use and how did u program it
I have a 93 4.0 4x4 5speed looking to do a 5.0 swap. What's the best year engines and transmissions to use. Wanna keep it 4x4
Eyyy I have a 94 4.0 looking to do the same thing!

I have the exact same setup you do, and i cant get the clutch to stop dragging either. What did you do to fix it
Looks like it smacks the dash a little but very cool

Probably be a little easier to heat it with a torch and bend it.
Just do small bends until you get it exactly where you want it before bolting back on

Ever figure that out?? Im having plans om doing the same thing. First time engine swapping. A little scary😂

Did you install engine and transmission together or separately? And good job
Together, I wasn't able to fit the trans in the back unless I jacked up the entire cab due to the bell housing
I'm doing the same transmission in my swap. What did you use for the slip yoke that goes into the tail of the transmission?
Same on the stock manual ranger used, whatever size that may be.
will that fit i thought the transmission on the ford f-150 is longer?
Is it still 4x4?
Why not a t5
Multiple reasons
Dude my v6 2.9 clutch hydraulic system is the reason I'm gonna swap the whole powertrain...
Same here I'm on my second clutch it won't hold pressure I've tried everything
@@oceapliler6959 i know right i replaced everything and i know these clutches are hell to bleed but they shouldn't be this bad
@@leghumper1574 for real its a bitch. The guy before me put the wrong trans fluid in so my bearings are also fucked
@@oceapliler6959 oof let me guess instead of gear oil they put in mercon 5
