I just put together 2010 Ranger with a 4 cyl Duratec with auto trans.(built from a wreck)
I drove it for the first time today. That thing flies. The thing would make a Pinto fly also.
The only thing that keeps me from this swap is the oil pan. I see NO REASONABLE
solution for this. The boys from across the pond make a "tin" pan, but it is for a rear sump.
Anyone who knows of a reasonable plan I'd love to hear from you. I do know the trans
tunnel would have to be seriously modified to accommodate the trans, but does that thing
ever shift.

Wife's Rangers have 4:88s . Main reason they are so snappy !

She wrote off (she is OK) an 07. I wanted the truck back for the rad to rear diff for a beater car (Pinto) for "fun" & no worries about our gravel roads.
No luck. Insurance co. made it so I couldn't get it back.
