@Josh P For logistical reasons, I need ready to bolt in Aerostar 3.0 metal brackets that bolt to the engine. The rubber mount that bolts between the
engine and the crossmember is available.
I will be working on the Ranger 3.0 extraction and the Aerostar 3.0 installation in a sea (C) box with hand tools and an engine hoist. At home I don't have any of the farm fab tools, like a grinder, sawsall, welder etc. that I would need to fab up something. I need plug and play.
The whole logistics of this compound project are tricky. I don't have a 50'x50' covered area to have the 3 or 4 vehicles involved. I spend a lot of time just trying to figure out where to do what. I know that with the 3.0 powertrain removed from the 99 Ranger, then it can be tow dollied to the shop for the 5.0 installation which at this point is not a cut and dried installation. Some investigation and decisions have to be made as a 5.0 Ranger install in to a 99 Ranger with coil spring front end has never been documented.
I need the 3.0 into the Aerostar to be easy to make up for what I'm going to go through with the 5.0 powertrain and axle Ranger project.
