'11 Ranger motor bought
Lol, no Stroker in my future I don't think...
Maybe I need to rethink my "voice of reason" comment
Timing worked out and I accompanied a friend with his Highlander and utility trailer to Edmonton - 3 hours north of me - and we picked up a 4.0 SOHC from a 2011 Ranger with just under 40K kms - about 25,000 miles. The motor cost me $945 CDN - about $ 700 US - including tax and was almost the lowest mileage engine I could find. I did find a Ranger motor with 7K kms but at $ 1600 CDN I decided the extra cost wasn't really justified.
Everything was going great until a trailer tire blewout about 30 minutes away from home. Though chilly on the hands we dealt with it and got the motor onto a hoist and into the garage.
So now I am researching and getting ready to order parts for my swap. Some great threads on the forum but still lots of questions lol. Of course I would like to be as prepared as possible when the actual work starts. Shipping costs can be a killer here in Canada so I have a Montana address to keep costs down. Once I have ordered stuff I need I will make the 3 hour drive down and pick up the goods. With enough stuff stacked up it saves a lot of $$ and it's always fun visiting the USA. nd eventual success.
Though I think I know the answer, I would like to use the injectors off the Ranger as it has much lower mileage. It looks like I will need EV1 to EV6 adaptors to do this.
Anyone care to chime in about this ?
Thanks
