![]() I've got a 92 Ranger with a 4.0 liter V-6 in it. The truck has a lot of miles on the engine and I'd like to swap in a V-8. How much would it cost me if I did all the work myself. How much are conversion kits. Would it be cheaper to just piece together a kit(like buy making my own motor mounts, exc.)

![]() I don't know that much on the subject, but since the explorer is basically a ranger wagon, i believe that the 5.0 in those can be fairly easily swapped into your ranger. Getting a parts 5.0 Explorer would probably be the cleanest install. That sounds like a cool project by the way.
