My 01 job 1 has a quarter million miles on it. While it still gets me to work every day, it makes rattle noises and marks it's territory.
What I really want is to install a 3.o diesel from an Audi A6, but I don't have the time, money, or fab skills to make that happen. I am resigned to swap in the thirsty ***** that is the 4.0 SOHC.
I have been finding conflicting info for the motor swap. Some say the Mustang 4.0 drops in no problem, others say the only engine I can install is the Job 1 engine. At a local junk yard he says the engine is $1800. the same junk yard says the mustang 4.0 is $1100.
While I'm sure the cam profiles and possibly intake or ECU tuning is different for the smaller muscle car vs the 3 ton 4x4 truck, since the truck sees mostly highway and little towing other than a couple motorcycles in the back, I don't think I would have any problems.
I have also found an engine from a 2010 Ranger, but plastered all over says only fits Rangers... why?
So as long as it is the truth, I want you to tell me that any 4.0 SOHC will play nicely and drop into my engine bay and connect to the transmission with little more trouble than re-running sensor wires.
