Is the 5.0 Small block ford from a Ford Explorer a plug-and-play swap?
Well, we find out today!
The V8 We yanked from the junkyard and mated to an f150 transmission plugs right in, after some quick wiring changes this thing fired right up and is ready to rip ( I think ).
We modified the factory engine mounts a little, changed some wiring, jumped the starter relay and BAM fired right up!

Not gonna lie, the 5.0 sounded wayyy crispier than I was expecting……plus AC??!! I mean…goddamn.👍🥇
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Go back to the junkyard and get the throttle cable from the explorer, it is right length and has the correct ends and will work with the Ranger throttle pedal.
Already did!
@@MotionAutoTv Cool deal, thing is I’m actually swapping my 92 Explorer with a 96 Explorer 5.0 And the throttle cable even works on the earlier rangers and Explorer’s.
@@92_5.0expo did the wiring harness just plug and play or did you use the 5.0 one?
Blake needs to smile a little he seems to serious 😁
I’m sure it’s gonna start coming out of him. Shawn opened up pretty well 👍🏻
mans on a mission
I like that the 5.0 is different. Lots of LS swaps on TH-cam. Glad to see you stuck with the Ford purity and threw a Ford motor in the ranger. Can't wait to see how it turns out! 👍👍
Fuck yeah!!!!!
5.0 is the most common swap in a ranger. Kinda pointless when you can get a ls with a 100 more hp.
@@userANAKIN Ls is a lot bigger and harder to get into the ranger
@@userANAKIN cause keep your fords Ford? Hahaha
@@userANAKINthe explorer 5.0 is a better option because explorers and rangers are essentially the same platform. You can take the entire explorer dash and slap it into a ranger and the engine bays are almost identical. It’s an easier swap with minimal fabrication
This is such a cool challenge series.
"You'll still have some music to listen to, when you're sad" hahahah 14:00
“Still have some tunes to listen too.. when your.. when your sad”😂
If you can find a Ford contour they had high cfm electric fans with a shroud, it’s a common foxbody upgrade
Damn my dad used to have a contour, thing was actually a ripper
@@HANGTIMEV I had a friend with the svt model contour and it was pretty good
@@86Boostedbird same he did a newer escape 3.0l swap into it and was running 13.7's on budget all seasons through the 5spd
Yup they worked great on my Supra even in the hot Az summers lolbut they have to be from a V6 engine. 95-00 I believe
I have a 2 speed fan from a 1996 Taurus SHO in mine. Way easier to find.
That Swap is Awesome up in the North East here in Vermont everyone has swapped a small block 350 into a Chevy S10, but I have only seen one V8 Ranger. I love what your doing it reminds me of a Team bonding experience you should do this once a year to show your guys you appreciate what they do 4 u thanks Trevor and Sean and crew/family from Sean in VT
Should come over to Pittsburgh pa, I got one, I’ve seen only one ranger with a 5.0
I did one year ago 94 ranger splash put 94 mustang. 5.0 in it I even put the mustang set
In it.
Even though I've seen you do crazy engine swaps before in short amounts of time, it never fails to blow my mind what you can do.
That's awesome Trevor, Really like the fact that you are now putting a turbo on it! I'm really enjoying this challenge video set.
See!!! that's the 5.0 reliability she fired right up ready to battle!!! This is going so fast
Is it just me or did Blake kind of resemble Forest Gump with the long hair and the red ball cap? So stoked to hear the 5 0 start!!🤘
I really want to see more c10 envoy chassis content and that buggy you bought from Garrett... just slap a k24a on it and have some fun with it
Hit up Kyle n Wyatt, would be a good opportunity for a collab. then y'all could hit the dunes with his rail too
I've loved watching your channel since day one! It's made by real DIYer's so it's easy for us to follow.
I have a 2003 Ford Ranger Ext Cab Tremor with a second 3.0 V6 that I rebuilt 40k miles ago.. I have finally got to the point that I can do my swap so I'm watching this series again.
After you've worked on the same truck for almost 20 years (yes I've own this one that long) you learn tips, tricks, and shortcuts that you want to share. Like cutting a window into the heater fan box in the interior so you just have to remove a panel to replace the core instead of the whole dash.....lol!
Another is for removing/replacing the engine or trans....or both. Of course take the hood off but mark the hinge placement with a grease pencil first. The one that no one seems to do but saves so much more time and allows you to angle or level everything easier is to remove the front bumper and radiator support.
Two people with electric impacts can do this in less than 30 mins. Then you have a hole that is open between the two tires and completely open at the top. If you do this, honestly you don't need an engine stand but just a hoist. You can also mount the tranny up and then bring in everything at a level steady pace. I've even took the fenders off during a swap I helped with and then we had access to both sides of the engine.
I'm not criticizing at all I promise and yes, I know it's been 2 years since this was posted. I'm just hoping someone new here with see this, as well as other tips in the comments, before starting their project.
Thanks for always doing cool shit!
I like the fact that this is a competition and you talk shit, but at the end of the day you got each other's backs and even help each other when it's needed!
Great content! Love the competitive and friendly banter!
Dont forget a input shaft bearing in the crank gets forgotten alot when going from auto.
yup great times when youre about to fire it up the next day and wake up at night sweating thinking SHIT THE PILOT BEARING. Aaaaand pull it all apart and do it all over :)
I wrecked my Ranger so when I put a new core support in, I made it a bolt in instead of weld in. When you pull a V8 engine on an Explorer the transmission and flywheel need to be removed. You are going to have issues with the fuel pressure. The best thing to do when swapping is to have the whole Explorer because it has almost everything you need. Such as the proper throttle cable and radiator. The easiest swap to do is 1999-2000 Ranger 4x4 with a 1999-2001 Explorer because everything is plug and play. Fuel pressure, VSS, and antitheft are all the same. 4.2 V6 4x4 transmission is hard to find.
you can ditch the mount spacers if you use a foxbody oil pan to give you the clearance and set the motor in lower
what about oil capacity on the smaller
pan ?
@@pepe58pepito54 5 instead of 6 quarts and you can gain more volume by running the larger truck filter with the remote mount filter.5 quart mustangs been running around for decades it should be fine
I love how even though it’s a competition you’re all still working together
That’s so cool going to keep up with this series for sure!
I seriously love how easy it is to engine swap these little trucks. These 90s vehicles from Ford were just like Legos if you want to swap them out. When it wouldn't start and you said it's a 1998, I immediately knew what it was. 1998 was the first year Ford used Passive Anti-theft System (PATS) on the Explorer but not the Ranger. If you swapped the steering column and used the Explorer key it would've fired right up.
Great series. Love the build challenge
you could always check the wiring at the key and find where the start wires go and make shure they are corect. they probably go through that plug that didn't quite line up
I love the series my first brand new car was a 1993 Ford Ranger brings back memories for me.
I've been on TH-cam refreshing the shit out of it for the past couple days waiting on this video lol
that started up a lot quicker then i thought it would... thats aweeeesome dude!!
Can't wait to see that ranger running and driving perfect. Sweet project bud's.
Let's see that next video ASAP! I'm on the edge of my seat!
Sounds pretty decent. Looking forward to seeing these get thrashed on the track.
Finally some good content I'll actually watch.
For the starter its probably the anti theft module. i think in those years only the 4 cylinder rangers had the starter cutoff. all you need to do is either run the red/blue from ignition switch to relay or straight to the solenoid or go behind passenger airbag find anti theft module and ground the black/green wire and it should start. There is 2 pink wires in the body plug that run to nutrual safety that might need to be twisted together . Been a bit since my last swap so its hard to remember everything . Let me know when you want to figure out the a/c wiring also lol
This is great i love the content dont forget to heat wrap that high pressure clutch line!
Could wire the signal off the starter to the ignition switch so that way it still uses the key. Had to do that with my gs300. Love the series
Interesting I was joking with my wife today about taking the 302 I have laying around and putting it in my Ranger haha, she did not like that idea.
That 5.0 sounds sick
Very cool combo man
Came over from Sarah-N-Tuned :) keep up the amazing work!
Dam Sean got work to do! Trev don’t get too happy yet bro 😂
The fact is almost plug and play is so badass!
Make it work off the key! You know you want to do it right! Even if you hard wire to the ignition switch
Got a blown 302 in my ranger and it is a blast to drive!
That's so cool I was want to do a 5.0l in my ranger with a 5 speed sick . hope that thing Moves but you need Valve Springs if your putting a turbo on it the Springs are week
You have enough budget left to put a 331 stroker kit and cam in the 5.0?
Cant wait to get my block and heads back for my 98 ranger. Debating on doing a cam while its all apart, had to go 0.030" over bore as well. Cant wait now, I got mine from a 99 explorer and had a shop in Florida do a pcm program for me, pats delete, new 92 map. Using the same transmission as well, I was wondering about the neutral safety wiring as well, wonder if a relay would work in place of the actually switch from the auto trans, or straight up splice together ground signal wires if thats what it is looking for, a complete ground circuit.
You should take the cab off the frame that is the factory way to do it and then drop the cab back on once the trans an engine are mounted
2000s Era dodge intrepid e-fans. They flow tons of air. Using them in a 500hp LS swapped blazer with no issues.
When he came up behind you and put his hands in killed me😂
Swap and seize, brilliant ground head
I just cut the top of the core support and made the center section bolt in and out on my swap.
1. Neutral safety switch and the computer's automatic programming
2. How did you hook up the starter wires
3. Did you delete the patts from the ranger
Trevor again discovering things
i cant remember what the colors are exactly but there should be a 4 pin connector in the trans tunnel for the saftey nutrual switch 2 should be for reverse light and the other 2 can be jumped together to get the starter to work on the key
You can put a stock 86 mustang cam in it for and improvement.
No crank is probably just missing the inhibitor switch, some guys take the gear position sensor off the old auto chuck it in neutral and plug it in, otherwise you'll just have to figure out where the wires are for it and connect them together.
Or just run a wire from the key to either the starter relay or straight to the starter trigger
Blake…a man of many words
Seans hands behind trev 😄 😄
I think there is a neutral safety switch in or on the auto transmission. You should be able to jump that to get the motor to start with the key,.
So good, should both do a cheap paint job and drag wings haha 🙌🔥🔥
Competitive, but all eyes on deck for safety. A+
Blake loves it.
Love the swap and challenge but damn, wish you could slow that camera down a little. Getting motion sick here.
Liberals always want others to change in order to benefit the liberal.
Love the content, but the Blake comments are killing me 😂
cool build cant wait to c it rip
Hey Trevor, ever thought about doing a VR30TT MOTOR 300-400hp easy. It’ll be a bit complex but you seem to know what you’re doing.
Love the builds 🤘 is TY not there anymore?
I'd gamble that your no start is due not having the neutral safety or the clutch switch. Start signal from key would pass through those before getting to the start relay. And also if it was one with transponder, it also runs through the anti-theft controller. If you run a wire straight from the ignition switch to the relay you'd bypass all those potential breaks in the circuit. Or just go push button as you said
That fan in the time laps looking like it’s doing work 😂
Your next episode I want to know is your truck going to be later than 5.0 mustang that it came out of with that set up
Makes me want to go buy a ranger again.
Same year Taurus will work and mount up
Its turbo time powerstroke turbo works really good
This was entertaining af.
I wish I did this when I replaced the engine in my ranger.
chrysler Town and country E fan is the right size for the 3.0 radiator
Take a shot when you hear Trevor say "Blake".... you will die of alcohol poisoning within 5 min or so.....best part of Sean's video was when he said "Blake...Blake....Blake....Blake....Blake...." when he was at the Pull an Pay.
shawn is chillin, all he has to do is finish this and that... then he can drive it.
The ECU needs to think it's in park before it will start you can jump the pins together and it should start right up
AND THEN ……. You can drive it !! 😎🤙🏼🐾
I might be late but on my manual 93 explorer I need to hold the clutch in to turn it on because it has the clutch safety switch or something. I know almost all manuals have that but maybe your just missing that connection for it to turn on
Let’s gooo. If my engine ever goes in my ranger I will try to swap my 4.0 for a 5.0 😬😛
I could be wrong but in my 95 Ford ranger, you had to have the clutch pedal fully depressed before the engine would turn over... Safety thing..🤷🏻♂️
Having same problem as u did no crank when turning the key already installed push button but no start
I love a good mini truck build
Those are gonna be some fun trucks. Lol
Good evening. Besides the black and white wire to be grounded and use other for alternator. What othe wire needs to be modified. Any help will be greatly appreciate,
BAD ASS RANGER NICE TO SEE A FORD SWAP INSTEAD OF THE LS GARBAGE OUT THERE
Jus play switching around wires connecting to the classes harness
Don't forget to put in a pilot barring into the crank of your 5.0
7:10 Trevy gets a reach around !!!!!!!!!!!
It was acting like the clutch switch was not working.
Never cared for a ranger, but id like to have that one. I'm tired of ls swapping stuff, whats another mild idea?
Watching this makes me do the same to my ranger 96xlt
I think you're right, must've washed the engine, or was a farmtruck that ate dirt.
I'd remove the sensors, clean them separately, and blow air(with air compressor) into the exhaust manifolds, one by one, each exhaust port to push that out, out through the intake, out the way it came. Blow air, as much as possible, then carefully remove intake/throttle, cleaning them, too.
I feel like that rangers gonna feel gutless with that 5 speed in it considering it came out of a truck and it’s not a t5 or t56.. but I could be wrong
I have the f150 with the v6 2wd and 5speed and it shifts great compared to my v6 ranger and its way faster i think it has pretty good ratios and seems to like power a lot more
Send it! What eco will you run fir the turbo to tube it?
thank you fellas i'm in
When wiring the motor you used the 5.0 harness? If so how did that plug into the account ranger?
The horn blows, but does the driver?
The HVAC box needs to be modified for the pass. Side valve cover.
Competition is heating up!!!
