Ok so I have a 1998 Ford ranger manual rwd sitting there in my driveway I've had it for 22 years it has like 250k miles on it
I wanna get rid of it. But on a whim I asked Claude what I should do and it told me I could swap in a v8 from an explorer really easily and probably beef up the engine and drivetrain too
I'd just have to get a donor car..oh my god I think this might be my next thing after the house I might start wrenching on my trucks again oh my god oh my god this is so cool

I found a ton of shit online about doing this swap and because I literally do not care about the truck, if I fuck it up that's fine. If I learn something then that's cool. If I end up with a slammed hooptie with a turbocharged v8 that would be fucking hilarious
