i bought a 302 from a buddy for 80 buck now how easy are they to install or should i leave my ranger a 4.0 v6

 

[sloue]

leave it . find a first gen put it there. v8 first gen 4x4 are way to much fun , just ask me ill tell you about it >:?

Yes I agree with Sloue I have been looking but I can't find a 4x4. I may have to make it 4x4. Some day that is my goal :knight:

It wouldn't be impossible (check out rwenzing's profile) but it would be much easier for clearance and adaptability issues if you were to put the 302 in a GenI Ranger (83-88 model).

 

[Demon-FX4]

damn lol anyone want a 302 for 80 bucks lol it sure would look sweet as **** in my truck and sound amazing i was going to bore it out too but oh well i guess

 

[rngrdanny22]

yeah, the only issue with 302's in the newer Rangers are that you need to get a new transmission, rewire alot of crap, and then the engine compartment is a pretty tight fit.

my dad even found two turbos to add to it from his work

 

[TS6034]

Send me the turbos, I'll send a check. ;D

302 ranger

I put a 302 in my 98 ranger and it cost about $3,500 or so. it runs good, sounds good. Its a lot of work but its about what you want...If you have a 4.0sohc v6 you wont get much more hp, if you have a 3.0 like I did it will make a huge difference

 

[rangerbill]

The 302 shouldn't be any harder than in my 98? But your looking at a few grand probable and the wiring can be trickie unless u say the heck with it and go carb but even then a lot of issues. The 4.0 sohc motor has almost the same hp but the 302 has the torque. Mine came out of a 97 mountaineer so I took eng, tranny, awd transfer, pcm, wiring...and a lot of mods. But she sure does run good.
