Are you going to keep the trans? That would be a mean setup with a 2/speed rear end and a 5-speed manual.

It would also make the swap easier if you have a donor vehicle to keep all of the factory engine management wiring intact. Should be fairly straight forward with the factory black box 'dumb' computer, it just needs to see the engine parameters to run.

Current thought process has me keeping the 5 spd mid ranger, 2 speed rear but I am looking at overdrive trans options. I have a full donor vehicle to work with and the factory manuals, also found a ton of useful information when I found this site! Working my way through the chasis and addressing any problems before I jump into the engine upgrade. This truck is being built for one specific purpose so it's been fairly easy to plan out.
