This is a project that has been in the planning and hoping stage for several years. Truck was gifted to me. Purchased the 5.0 with AT, Wiring Harness and Brain from a 97 Explorer. I have had the engine machined. New Pistons, Rods, all new bearings, polished and tested crankshaft and cam. New Timing Set, Oil pump, gaskets and seals. Heads were reworked. Still getting the engine back together while doing research on differences between the 88 Ranger and 97 Explorer Fuel Pressure requirements.
Any pointers and tips will be greatly appreciated.
Just building it far a daily driver. Not planning on any off road driving since it is rear wheel drive only.
