I have a early 2.3 liter engine, Carb and distributor, that I want to install in a 98 ranger that has a blown 2.5 liter engine with an automatic. can I swap intakes, controls etc. to keep all the electronic engine controls?

Any info would be appreciated.

thats a great question... for therangerstation.com

but.. i really don't think it will work...

all of fords later stuff uses crank sensors.. that have a tone or reluctor ring on the crank... to tell the ecm where the crank is...

find another same year 2.5...   there is a hollander interchange manual that shows which motors fit which ...

Thanks for the input. I was afraid that would be the case.
