anyone know how hard it would be to swap an SOHC 4.0L into an 01 with a 2.5L? i assume i need the engine, tranny, computer, but what else? will it fit? i assumed it would, but didn't know if i'd have to move anything around.
it'd be a lot easier for you to swap a SOHC into a 98-00 4.0 with the 5spd...would be way easier, you'll have the tranny already, all you do is swap motor...a guy did it before and he actually used the OHV 4.0 computer and it ran the SOHC fine he claims, he's in RPS..and he just recently joined Acrophobia...i frogot his damn rps name though Ranger2000SVT or someshit, nice clean truck too
a response along the lines of yes i have done a few such as... wouldnt have sounded so cocky but ya they do sound like you know more then most... how many people have asked how to swap in a 5.0 without even knowing how to change their own oil! just had to make sure, you know
i hear ya. i don't think i want to do a 5.0 swap just because of the work. i would rather have an s/c'd 4.0 than a 5.0 because of the ease. it might not be easy, but it ain't gonna be a v8 swap!
and those aren't really that cocky because they're all engines that were meant to fit anything really (of the same make). they were swaps per se, but something tells me my first EFI swap will be something of a menace...
