I would go with a low milage engine from a car or how about finding a donor from a v-8 Explorer. Get the complete harness if possible. The pre-93 cars had forged pistons in case you were thinking about a power adder ( nitrous,blower or turbo(s) )in the future. It will be a big undertaking but it definitly can be done. I have a buddy with a Boss 429 ( yes an actual Boss 429 )sitting on a stand in his garage he wants to put in a Ranger, and he claims it will fit no problem.
