well just ask me and i'll tell you

how hard was it to put the 5.0 in your 88? i have an 85 and was looking to do the swap also

not hard cause my truck is only for the race track the engine is monted in with 1/4 steel ears but you will have to get the oil filter kit.

what about radiators, crossmembers trannys ac, efi hook up

the rad is out of a 2.8 but im going to a f-150 rad and stock cross member with a costom mount.

It was really simple to put a 302 in a ranger, I tossed one in my Ranger GT
