i am going to do the swap on my 98 ranger 4x4 & have a 96 EX for donor.& have come to think that a 4406 would be the way to go but have two Q about the install
first it says to move the holes for the engine plate mount to the right 1/2" i am not sure i know what they are talking about (engine plate ) or what holes where but if i can get a pic or drawing ill do it if they are talking about the motor mounts wouldn't you have to do both sides ??????????
next do i need an elec 4406 for the buttons i have on the dash or would i have to use a manual 4406 ??????????
thx for any help noel
 






First question would be answered here I believe (or maybe best asked??) http://www.rangerpowersports.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=12
Thats a link to the V8 swap area at rangerpowersports. Alot of detailed information there.

Answer to the second question is that you could run either 4406 case. Its just a matter of "do I want to wire it up to work properly, or am I going to cut a hole in the floor for the shifter?"

If you go with the manual shift 4406 and want the indicator lights to work, theres a great writeup done by mountaineergreen, look at post #18 http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166726&page=2
