Replying to: 06ranger (Dec 16, 2006 3:02 am) Youre in luck because Ford has done dick with the Ranger in years. Depending on your configuration, which you didnt mention, you could as far back as 1996ish Replies to this message: unknown (Dec 20, 2006 2:52 am)

Replying to: mrjones944 (Dec 17, 2006 10:41 am) sorry, its what you they call a " basic " no XL or any of that. 2.3L 4 cylinder automatic. a tin can with wheels.the insurance company totaled it so can't use the body any longer. the cab was caved in but the rest of the truck is brand new. only 5700 miles on it driven by a 70 old. highway miles at that too. bet he never got over 60 mph in it. he's my pop.

will the engine and trans.(4cyl.stick) 96 be compatable with 89 (4cyl.stick ) Please advise.   Both vehicles are ranger pickups GF Replies to this message: fordtech (Jan 19, 2007 5:28 pm) rangerrocket (Oct 20, 2007 1:17 pm)

Replying to: geraldf (Dec 30, 2006 9:54 pm) I dont see why not. Just make sure you swap the pcm over and put a label to indicate this when you do the swap. There have been several upgrades to the engine calibration in that amount of time. Every new year has a new problem. I would pay great amount of detail to the sensors and the wiring harness, as you might have to swap those out due to the introduction of new sensors and what not. So just be on the lookout for sensors that dont have plugs. On the other hand you could just leave those sensors unplugged, since they werent needed in the 89 anyway.

Replying to: fordtech (Jan 19, 2007 5:28 pm) What I'd recommend to you is to get as much of the 96 into the 89 as is possible. The OBD2 changeover happened for the 96 model (late year production) so you would gain a great deal of diagnostic ability. Get the ecm, wiring harness, fuel system and speed sensors etc. Just my $.02. I've done a pile of motorswaps and I've always done best by updating as much as possible to OBD2 standards.
#23 of 52 HELP ME!!! 2.3 4cyl swap 2.9 6cyl by fathersonprod Oct 23, 2007 (7:05 pm)
I need some honest help. I have a 83 Ford Ranger 4x4 2.3L carbed 4cyl 4speed manual gutless p.o.s. with a torched tranny. Finding a used tranny for this truck is impossible around here! Rebuilds are endless but SPENDY...so a light flickered and now I want to do a engine/tranny swap!!! A V-8 swap is ideal for the offroad Ranger prodject but I ran into a guy who is selling me a 90 Bronco II 4x4 with a 2.9L V6 5 speed manual...PLEASE tell me if this swap (engine/tranny) will work! This will save me thousands of $$$. Is this swap even worth it?
