Considering a V8 Swap in a Ford Ranger?
#1
Hey fellow truck enthusiasts! I've been thinking about doing a V8 engine swap in my Ford Ranger. Anybody here done it before? Any advice or recommendations on engines and modifications?

A popular choice for V8 swaps in Rangers is the 5.0L V8 from the Ford Mustang. It fits well and offers a significant power boost. You'll need to upgrade other components like the transmission, cooling system, and fuel system to handle the increased power.

If you're looking for even more power, consider the Ford 5.4L or 6.2L V8 engines. They require more modifications and can be a tight fit, but provide a thrilling performance upgrade.

Keep in mind that a V8 swap will add weight to your Ranger, which might require suspension and brake upgrades to maintain handling and stopping power. It's a big project but can be incredibly rewarding!

Don't forget to check your local regulations and emission requirements. Some areas have strict rules for engine swaps, especially if you plan to drive the truck on public roads. Always good to do your research beforehand.
