Anybody done a v6 swap ?

im lookin to swap out my engine with a v6 . Was thinkin of puttin a v8 but thats too much for the little island that i reside in . So if anybody has ever done a v6 swap, please let me know . Thanks!

check this out!

Sweet! Do you have pics or videos of your build ?

yea! i got photos in the build thread. look on youtube and search ward5kustomz. i got several vids on there.

Thanks ! This will help a lot !

i've had my b2800 4x4 for about 3 years now... it's currently parked and has a few issues, but once i have some money again, i'll be working on it a bit.


the previous owner mated the chevy bellhousing to the mazda so it now bolts right up to the factory mazda 4x4 driveline. also the oil pan has a small notch for the front diff. it's an 83-84 chevy camaro carbed 2.8 v6. i have always put it like this... a little more power and reliability than what was there, but not nearly enough to brake anything! i added an electric pusher fan for additional cooling while sitting at idle.

since the mounts and bellhousing are all done, i have an idea to swap in a fuel injected 3.4 out of a mid 90's camaro... that should give a good power boost, reliability and gas mileage over the 4.3 v6 from s10/blazers.

that is another common swap, the 4.3

im eventually gona put up more pics of the 3.0 to give you a better look into what all is required. ill also get some pics of the trans.

Thanks Jim , maybe ill do that to my b2600 .

Thanks ward for all your help and the pics would be great !

That's the engine from an aerostar right ? Does the ranger have the same engine ?
