Replying to: bolivar (Nov 24, 2006 8:17 pm) Head over to the Engine Swaps (Performance Swaps) discussion in our Speed Shop: Tuning & Modification Board - the gearheads over there should have some insight.   kcram - Pickups Host

Replying to: teh_joker (Jun 24, 2006 1:46 pm) Dear Sir:   Did you find all the mods in one kit or just do it piecemeal?   I have a 2003 4.0 L 4x4. It has the 5 spd transmission. I'd like to add some power but not sacrifice the fuel economy. Do you think ram air and headers will boost it quite a bit?

#16 of 21 Diesel engine into 97 4L by capthook07 Mar 16, 2007 (5:39 pm)
Has anybody heard of a small turbo diesel installed into a Ranger. I love the truck but hate the mileage and want to change to biodiesel. I would like it to bolt up to the AOD transmission in the rig. CaptHook07
#17 of 21 Biodiesel Ranger by mmazurke Jun 18, 2007 (7:14 am)
I am about to undertake the same project myself. I would like to go biodiesel but am looking for a compatable engine with minimal 'nudging' needed to fit in my 97 ranger. Also, anyone know what kind of drivetrain would be needed. Replies to this message: bolivar (Jun 18, 2007 10:39 pm)

Replying to: mmazurke (Jun 18, 2007 7:14 am) You guys must have a lot of money to spend to get to a diesel.   Isn't diesel now much more per gallon than gasoline?   Go to Mexico. Or is it South America. I understand they sell a diesel Ranger there. Also sell a 4 door one.

Replying to: curt12 (Feb 04, 2007 4:32 pm) it should be on the left side of the motor .. it should be just under the top lip ...Like you know where you add oil ok that whole part if unbolted lifts off so look on the side where that lip is and it will be right there ....and this is very hard for me to explain on here but im doin my best sorry for the confusion

Replying to: 94hopes (Nov 24, 2006 5:53 pm) I have done this swap and it was one of the easier V8 swaps you can do. You can check out my swap pics at www.photobucket.com/albums/y211/red85 .

installed a hot camshaft in my 2.3L ranger for more horsepower. results, appears no extra power. Question: if i advanced the cam gear one tooth, would this give more power. danby
