Just saw an IG account of this chick who is attempting to LS swap her 19 Ranger. If she gets this done, this thing is going to be bad ass. I hope she does! Here is her account for anyone interested: https://www.instagram.com/gb_ranger/

Yoda say's....
NO !!! STOP !!!
Un-natural this is. Will cause a great disturbance in the Force, it will. Cause galaxies to implode and stars to go nova....a great ripple in time will occur.
Owner has turned to the Dark Side, she has.

Approval of this swap I do....natural order of things this will bring.
Will give balance to the universe, and Force will always be strong in this Ranger.
Logical this plan is.

Funny though a Coyote could fit in the ranger rather nicely, saw someone putting one in the 6gen bronco so

When someone builds a kit to throw the manual trans under the Ranger - I'll get in line to make that change.

Could not or would not try that or a motor swap on something this new without someone else working the bugs out.

Nope.

I've done swaps on older dumber (ecm wise) cars.

It may be blasphemy, but as a former LS-driver, I see the appeal. They're simple to work on, have endless aftermarket support, and make power pretty easily.

LS swap the world!

I knew a guy very good engine builder, may he rest in peace, that drove chevys & raced Fords. He said any body could make a chevy run, he loved the challenge of making a Ford fast & beating them. I believe his son still has their 4cyl turbo Mustang. Had a write up in Fast Fords Mag some years back. That was one quick 4 cyl. :like:

The LS is a solid swap. Can't beat it's durability. Having owned both, I would take the LS over a Coyote any day of the week.
