GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
These mounts are designed to fit both body styles of the Ford Ranger 2WD pickups. The mounts are slotted to have some
adjustment to the engine position once installed. On the early body style Ranger, the driver's side mount will require a hole to
be drilled in the cradle. Accounting for just a couple of differences, the installation of these mounts into both the early and late
model Rangers are basically the same.
Rangers 1992 & earlier require a hole to be drilled into the stock engine cradle. The way to mark or find the location to drill
is fairly simple. Take the driver's side mount (short mount) and install it to the cradle using the top hole to locate the mount
(
see photos below ). Align the mount so that the top or bottom of the mount is parallel with the ground. Mark the cradle using
our lower hole in the mount as a guide. Take a center punch to the center of the hole, mark it and drill with a 1/2" drill.
The 1992 & earlier Rangers also require the fuel filter to be relocated. The fuel filter is located
inside the driver's side frame rail. The fuel filter must be relocated to allow for proper exhaust
clearance.
On both body styles of the Rangers, we recommend doing a "dry run" on the engine installation. The mounts should be installed
loosely into the Ranger engine cradle. Lower the block into position on top of the new mounts and adjust the block to the furthest
forward location allowed by the slots in the mounts.
Adjust the block so that it sets level from side to side.
This first trial run will allow you to mark the air box on
the passenger side of the vehicle for proper clearance.
The driver's side firewall will also require a slight
amount of clearance (a small dent in the fire wall to
obtain valve cover and head clearance). Remove the
engine and perform the necessary modifications to air
box and the firewall.
