I was curious if any of you guys knew if there was a diesel motor that would go into a 94 4x4 without to many modifications. I realize all the running gear would have to change but Just curious. Gettin time to do something with the old girl.
Thanks
Erik

No problem, that'd be awesome man. You should go on youtube and search diesel ranger there's some vids on there of american ranger converted to diesel.

That'd be awesome to throw a diesel motor in there! You got to let us know how it goes and if you go forward with it.

For sure guys. 4bt cummins motors are super cheap. The exspenive part would be the trans. and rear axel.

Why not just use a Ford 9inch? It should be strong enough for you're doing. The only thing is, is finding one that's already narrowed down to width.

May even find one from a mustang that someone had setup for drag racing.
