Help with engine on 1994 Ford Ranger?
So I just picked up a project prerunner ranger. The engine and trans are there but it does not start. Now i don't know A LOT about these things but a lot of my friends are so thats why i got one to play around with them. I'd like to see if I can do some work myself on it and save some $ and get the engine going etc. It also needs a whole brake kit which I know how to do. But how do I get started diagnosing the engine to hook it up and get it going.
The guy i bought it from said before they started the cage etc the engine was running strong and was fine and I trust him. So there's nothing wrong with the engine, it just needs to get put together i guess. I can provide pics or anything that will help. Any help is appreciated thanks

You need fuel, compression, and spark. If it has been sitting a long time, I would suspect a fuel problem.
Qestrts
- Will a 1993 3.0 Ford Ranger engine fit and work with my 1995 Ford ranger that has a bad motor? My 1995 ford ranger 3.0 5 speed ran hot and cracked the heads and spun a bearing. Will a 3.0 out of a 1993 Ford Ranger fit and work? My concerns are the 1993 has a distributor and my 1995 does not. Are the water pumps and accessories the same?
- Where is the ecm/computer located in a 1994 ford ranger? Trying to find location of ecm/computer on a 1994 ford ranger, bing.com isn't giving me any help. Or you tube. I've heard under the dash, in the kick panels, between the brake booster and firewall. Anyone have a clue?

- Possible engine swap from 3.0 to 4.0 on 1994 Ford Ranger XL 4x4 manual? I'm wondering if I can drop a V6 4.0L engine straight into a V6 3.0L Ford Ranger XL? Both are 1994 ford rangers, everything the same as far as model/year just different size engine… And if not, what would need to be converted? I found a 4.0 for $250 with 0 miles so if its as simple as swapping engines/trannys I'm going to go for it… Thanks for help!
