You will need the engine, the wiring harness, the computer, possibly motor mounts (depending on the year of the 4.0) radiator (possibly), fuel pump/lines/sender/ect, and that 'should' do it. Alot of it will depend on the year of the engine that you plan on using, but overall it should be a very straight forward swap.

Whats wrong with the 2.9? That's a pretty killer engine you have there as the Ford V6's go.

nothing wrong with it.im going to fix up the truck and am doing a lot of changes. i thought it would be nice to have a 4.o in a 1990..more horse power....

im in the same boat. im putting a 351w in my 92 ranger. its still under the planning process but the truck will not look the same when im done. but i had ranger a while back that had the 2.9 and i liked it and a lot of fun with it, but i still wanted more horse power so i understand.  


anything is possible
