i was wondering if a 2.5 liter engine out of a 99 or newer ford ranger would swap right in a 93 ford mustang and will the electronics hook up to it and the fuel injection bolt on i thought that they were the same engine except the 2.5 liter has a bigger stroke

will a 99 or newer ford ranger engine swap right in a 93 ford mustang 2.3 liter and all the eltronis hook up and fuel injection i thought that they were pretty much the same engine except for the 2.5 liter has a bigger stroke

I don't know if it's wire-for-wire, plug-for-plug, but you could easily hang all of the 2.3 stuff onto the 2.5 long block and rock on.

in 1999 the hole for the distributor was eliminated see link...
The Ford Ranger 4-Cylinder Lima Motors - The Ranger Station

i don't think this swap will be this easy.

what may work is installing the stroker crank in your block, port and polish the heads. esslinger has all to do this
