I will measure the width of mine in my truck later today. You would have to reinforce the frame up. The extra amount of horse power and torque and weight would be killer.

Definately have to move the fire wall. SVT put that motor into a ranger (from a lightning). Massive amount of work.

Yup, it required the use of the L's front suspension (and rear was used as well), boxed frame, a whole new fire wall, a whole new driveline hump inside the cab, and a whole list of other needed work.

i can only imagine all the re-enforcement needed for that. what id like to see is the triton v-10 in a ranger. that would absolutely nuts!
my dance skills are so premium. i believe this is why so many women want to be carnal with me.

Actually, I want a small diesel. I wonder what's available. I know they used to make a diesel ranger way back when, but I'd rather have a newer one - I'd love to put one in one of the overseas diesels

Ford doesn't have a USDM small diesel, but Benz and VW do. I think those may be the only two that have sold diesels in smaller displacements here in the past 5 or so years.
