Hey I do what I can with what I got :)
Engine is all buttoned up, took a bit extra because when I went to hookup the fuel evap canister line it was full of water!!! FUN FUN. Remember the 4.0 in this ranger was full of water up to the throttle body. The kid must have been having some fun in a puddle until the engine hydrolocked.

Oh well............ V8 now. 
We took the time to remove some fuel lines and check for water, luckily it never went past the casnister purge solenoid. She is all hooked up now, the plumbing and vacuum are done. The fuel pump is delivering fresh clean fuel to the engine now and we are just about to fire her up . Engine bay buttoned up with new packard wires bosch air filter, cleaned MAS, plumbed vacuum and EVAP lines.





Ready for the battery and fluids


First things first, had to finish servicing the transmission with a new Motorcraft filter ad flush the coolers and lines with a can of Kooler Klean. Parts washer is so nice to have makes short work of cleaning the pan.
We let the trans drain from the converter and the pan with filter removed for a couple of days. This transmission was also drained two years ago when I got it. So it should take about a full 12-14 quarts of Mercon 
V, the more of the "old fluid" we can get out now the better!

had to sticker it up as soon as it landed in its new spot






Now to build some exhaust and measure for new rear driveshaft
more pics coming!

All ready for winter around here, so far not much snow
