Cool. I have a 94 B4000 4X4 , blown 4.0, just got an 01 Explorer 5.0 wreck that was impounded, to pick any parts free, so I took the engine, trans, t-case, drive shafts, fuse box, instrument cluster and power distribution box, PCM, steering column, shift cable, and exhaust. My buddy has an M50D with the 5.0 bellhousing he said I can have. I kinda want the 5 speed, but I kinda want the auto, too.
If you plan on using the Explorer PCM it's easier to go auto and keep the four-wheel drive if you want the five-speed you have to get the PCM reprogrammed or get one for an F150 5.0 with the five speed.
@@fixinonitgarage Thanks, I have HPTuners MPVI 2, not sure if it's supported, because it's been a while, and I was on the fence about the Explorer PCM and VATS, I would prefer it not have it, but that's for later....
I’m doing the same style swap on my 08 I have a 86 Explorer 302 that I converted to carb since wiring was gonna be a bitch and i didn’t want to get into that I’m running a cheap knockoff edelbrock airgap intake and for carb I’m running the 600cfm 1406 edelbrock and same year transmission as your but I the truck practically runs now using a cheap 6psi edelbrock pump ans jerry can I have sitting in the engine bay but since I guess according to what I’ve read I got the wrong pressure plate clutch and slave I got it all for a 1995 Ford f150 5.0 and I’ve bled the system tons of times and nothing now from what I’ve been told if you have a 10th gen f150 M5R2 from the 4.2 and it’s a 97 or 98 you have to run like a 89 to 91 F150 5.0 clutch slave and pressure plate I wanted to ask you practically is that what you did?
For the clutch everything I ran was from A 95 F150 with a 5.0 you have to make sure that the throw out bearing is the same style as your Clutch master cylinder otherwise it will not work period I did have a mismatch of my parts and had to remove it and change the slave cylinder
And for fuel system I was gonna also ask what exact pump did you use? And since for my year on the original 2.3 Duratec she had it was a single fuel line so would I have to run a return of some sort or could I just pump gas from the tank through the stock line that runs up around the fire wall?
I used to pump from A 90 F150 in tank low PSI lift pumps. I was able to reuse the factory fuel lines I just bought some new nylon line and changed the adapters at the end so that I could plumb in a regulator
You should do a write up and put it on the ranger station. I see lotsa guides with different choices but a simple guide with what you used exactly would be appreciated. Im thinking of picking up another 94 bseries and would love to do something similar though instead of getting a manual 4x4 i would get the auto for better towing capacity
The ranger station info is all over the place. Not much to be found for the 94-95. I don't wanna take the time to document it all, just to have it get lost in the noise. These videos are easier to assemble and help the visual folks more. If there's anything specific you're interested in let me know and I'll make a video on it
@@fixinonitgarage yea I noticed that about the ranger station but it's where everyone links to. Though there is a V8 swapped group on FB that might be easier to make a visual guide on. The only thing I would ask is if there could be a more detailed list of parts used/ price for everything you used/ modified Like I see u were able to get the AC working and wiring work is always nice to see explained. I'm basically working between picking up another 94 bseries and doing this swap. Or picking up an 03 b2300 and 2.5 duratec turbo swapping it. I need another truck, my original 94 b4000 5sp got hit by some kid and got totaled so I have been getting the urge to get another truck and with my speed6 about to be done another project is in the works.
@@dr_tal I'm a mod in one of those groups and do what i can to help out. I'll look into a more in depth look at the AC. I wrote the parts lists out once when people were disputing the costs, not sure If I still have it. It's a akin to saving the wife's Starbucks receipts. It's just around $5k in parts if you acquire them rather than using a donor. Where I live there is no such thing as a $1k runner cause nothing rusts in the desert
Definitely a craftsman the only difference id of did would have been too keep the fuel injection ive had multi carbs and the head akes of boil over and flood out problems ill stick too Efi But Thank you for an Awsome Video And miss the old Windsor motors More and Wish Ford would bring them back But nothin lasts forever thats Good
Thanks, the goal was the keep it stock and simple. It's my old lady's truck so I wanted any old timer to be able to diagnose it should she have issues. EFI was having issues and pcms for this era are not cheap or easy to fix. Two wires run the whole truck now.
love this video just a quick question, i have a 07 ranger with a 5 speed manual and 4x4 i plan on putting a 4.6 in it and im wondering if the 4 wheel drive will still work with the new motor, do you happen to know if the wheel drive will still work?

I heard any model before 2000 you have to cut/fit. I have a 2004 and i hope i can just simply throw everything in at once.
As long as you get an explorer motor or put the explorer accessory drive on, it should fit with minimal modifications
great job gave me ideas for mine.
Right on.

Not sure as I only researched the 2wd. There are ways to make it work but the exact answers I don't know off hand
ok i really appreciate it thank you@@fixinonitgarage
I have a 91 ranger, that I plan on dropping a 302 in. Quick question though. Was it diffucukt to take out, the coils when putting in the distributor?
I used an explorer motor that had a cam phaser and had no issues removing it.
Damn wish i wasvable to do this ive got 97 five speed with 4 cl with the 8 plugs gutless pain in my ass
You can, it's easier on 96 and up as well. Just takes time and small stack of cash.
