Nice truck! Im thinking about swapping my mazda b2500 single cab with this setup. Been looking for a donor explorer/mountaineer. May even keep it 5speed!
@@JUNEBUGLLC I was actually thinking about a T5 out of a mustang but I saw another video that someone used a 5 SPD out of a 4.2 f150(98-2000ish) and it worked as well. I'm still doing some research on it.
@@titocanek5918 I used 96/97 explorer Harness, PCM. And I believe 85-93 Mustang CONVERTIBLE engine mounts or the 94-95 Mustang GT mounts, they’re supposed to be the same thing. Rear end was an 8.8 from an explorer, it’s pretty much a factory flip kit already so no welding if you want your truck low.
Nice build, clean for sure! Is A/C able to be kept in a swap like this? How did the alignment sort out with the Dream Beams? I’m considering both the Beams and a 5.0 Swap for my Ranger at some point in the future. Nice truck!!
I have the dream beams and 2” bell tech drop springs which comes out to a 5” drop about. There is still some camber not much. I put on a shorter tire upfront which helps from hitting wheel well.
I ordered mine years ago, I don’t exactly remember. I just found these: 1995 Ford Ranger Splash - Driver and Passenger Side Grille Extensions, Painted Black Manufacturer #SET-7828-1
The drone footage is so cool lol
Nice Ranger. Sounds good and reliable.
A cam and headers would really wake that thing up. Nice ride.
It sounds like it has a mild cam in it already, a stall and gears would help out. that’s one badass ranger as it is!
It has an E-303 Ford Racing cam, engine bay is too tight for headers.
Looks & sounds awesome!
It's so clean
Thx, it’s alright
Badass truck 💪🏽
Thx, she’s slow
Great video awesome setup Ford power forever baby keep on pulling the knot out of them boties and the horns off them mopars

Won't fit u need b3000
I know it fits 1998 and 1999 Mazda b3000 3.0
It also fits any Ford ranger 3.0 model only bc of how the housings bolt up

Did you use the explorer engine wiring harness ?
Yes

I need to recharge the AC. Everything for AC is in. I had to buy some MOOG alignment camber bushings to eliminate the negative camber.
I have the dream beams and 2” bell tech drop springs which comes out to a 5” drop about. There is still some camber not much. I put on a shorter tire upfront which helps from hitting wheel well.
@@svtcolten7439I would remove ac anyways
It wouldn't take many mods to get a lot more power out of
Do you know where you got the corner grill pieces I can't find them for my Ford Ranger splash grill?
I ordered mine years ago, I don’t exactly remember. I just found these:
1995 Ford Ranger Splash - Driver and Passenger Side Grille Extensions, Painted Black
Manufacturer #SET-7828-1
I googled 93-97 Ford ranger splash grille and some of the corners showed up
What radiator did you use?
I think I used a 95-97 Ranger 4.0 Double pass radiator. Can’t fully remember.
What size wheels and tires?
Front: 245/40r19
Rear: 245/45r19
Both 19x9
@@svtcolten7439 thanks I daily an ‘09 sport 2WD super clean and slowly working on things. Headers coming in this week, and thinking of going with 19’s
@@cliff4ever that sounds nice. I also have 1” spacers on the front too.
Thanks for asking and answering any rubbing issues did you roll your fenders? You are tucking up front curious
