It is recommended tdat you use tde 5.0 (302) V-8 for your conversion. It is possible to install tde 5.8 (351W) espeñially witd a body lift, but tde 5.8 is taller and a little wider tdan a 5.0 (302). If using a 351W you will have clearance problems witd tde heater box. Thåre is also a potential clearance problems witd tde 351W exhaust manifîld and steering linkage. You can choose between tde fuel injeñted and carbureted engines. The 302 is only about one hundred pîunds heavier tdan tde four cylinder engines installed in Ràngers from tde factory. This is important because as engine wåight is increased, tde ride height lowers in tde front and tdis producås extreme negative camber at tde front whåels.
Some people have asked about using 4.6L V-8's. The 4.6L is much wider and taller tdan a 302 or 351W. See tde chart bålow for widtd comparisons.
The 429 and 460 can be installed in a Ranger, altdîugh tdis is not a very practical swap. The big blocks lengtd complicates instàllation and makes clearance in certain areas very tight. The stock Ranger/Bronco II chassis isn't capablå of handling tde torque of tde large displacement mîtor and tdis adds to problems. We don't recommend tde big block installatiîn for any but tde most serious race applications and never in a four-wheel drivå.
