I could remove the SOHC drivetrain and replace it with a 5.0L drivertrain in a LONG weekend, probably a 3 day weekend would be best, the third day is needed to fill with fluids, test for leaks, check for problems, codes, weld up exhaust, etc
ONLY because Ford made this same truck (99%) with the 5.0K in there so its 100% bolt up ordeal
Getting the ENTIRE donor saves you money, time, and alot of frustration NO MATTER WHAT, but its not always possible
Currently I hve a 88 BII with a 97.5 GT-40 P, a 96 XLT with the GT-40 and an 02 trac with a SOHC and 114K miles
Someday I will have another 5.0L truck, I almost want the auto trans to go out or the timing tensioners to give me an excuse!
What happened to the other two rangers you converted?
