Sell the rear box, then pull it in.
I was looking into the swap for an 87 ranger. I decided against it after seeing what goes wrong with them. I looked at a few at a Ritchie brothers auction that sold for around 5k. The motors are wide and small, and look pretty sweet with a twin turbo. I heard of a few swaps into expeditions/explorers but could never find them.
The power numbers are pretty impressive tho @ 210hp/450tq?
