Waiting on my driveshaft now.. Mazda b2200 ext cab took 98 3.0 vulcan out bored 20over forged bottom end pp heads small turbo gonna be a fun daily beater
Next time go under and unbolt flywheel first and Jack the front of the truck up a little or put front on ramps, goes in and out easy, beat them dents out the valve cover and keep going. Good job
I literally just did a long block swap on my 03’ ranger it went pretty smooth took the motor out a Taurus it was the same 3.0 as was in the ranger but just had to use all my external parts of course and it was fine
Cover the engine and bag/tag the bolts. May have been easier to disconnect the exhaust from the converter instead of unbolting exhaust manifolds while in the truck. Sometimes tightening bolts a fraction will crack them loose.
Alot going wrong here. Removing exhaust at manifold is alot easier. Im currently doing oil pan gasket. My exhaust under transmission was going to restrict clearance, I thought. I got manifold down pipe bolts loose and off. And the after Catalytic Converter pipe to muffler bolts I easily got loose and off too. The 3 Catalytic Converter bolts to manifold down pipe where rusted too, and the one above pipe between floorboard frame and transmission was not accessable I removed wheel well on passenger side to get access to the manifold to down pipe bolts. Removed the two rusted bolts to down pipe to Catalytic Converter on each manifold. I used a torch to heat bolts, a small propane bottle $24 Home Depot. I actually laid under truck with long extension and a breaker bar and pipe for leverage. My leg pushed against drivers side tire to get more leverage, and bolt finally snapped loose. The oil pan removal required transmission removal. Then the exhaust slid across and out. The Catalytic Converter bolts where easier to break loose with 2 people, one to hold on ground and orher operate breaker bar. All three where rusted tight but good rust penetrant sprayed over a week helped alot
Had me at first but all your videos are you asking for things which is clearly a pattern of your life you need to go and get yours if you want it stop asking for shit 👍🏻💪🏻 I wish you the best of luck my good man
Bro how did you pull your motor with your torque converter that's supposed to be attached to flex plate attached to your bell housing out that happen man lol
My buddy is a mechanic, he's always telling me, you're going to break them bolts, ALWAYS saying that. He is so surprised that I don't break any. NO HEAT Jesus Christ.... Just TIGHTEN a TINY BIT. that breaks it free then it backs right out. No matter if it's a water pump bolt or a Exhaust manifold bolt, any FITTING OR NUT.
AC didnt need disconnected. Im currently replacing front gaskets on 3.0 V6 1995. The unit will unbolt and rest where it is. Then remove the mount the AC rest on. Save a recharge
@@jasongoshorn6940 v6. The 3.8 Essex was modified later on and installed in fwd applications. These applications included freestar vans in later years, they have the same bellhousing as the 3.0 vulcan engine found in the Taurus and ranger. This will probably only work in auto models as there's the issue of a custom flywheel for the manual. But, the flex plate should be the same as the bell housings are the same. The bigger v6 makes 215hp and 230# of torque.. the 3.0 is lucky to make 150hp and 140# of torque..

That was interesting to see. That's why I don't like small vehicles. All jam packed under the hood. Great job 👏
I upgraded to an electric fan assembly on my '92 Ranger. Pretty simple install and not terribly expensive. Saves the trouble with that fan pulley
I’ve been wanting to do the same thing to mine. Just gotta figure out the wiring
Super excited to see this carnage!
Looks like removing the waterpump and crank pulleys would help a lot in clearance. They should be 4 bolts each.
take the torque converter off first next time. there should be some access holes for that.

I had the exact same bolt snap on the exhaust lol
Yay! The work has begun 🙌 💪

Rip to that radiator 💀
Hello good video,What’s was the screw sizes that you used to hold the chains?
I wouldn't ask this guy for any advice or questions on rebuilding a engine.
I wouldn't either 😅
One more inch in engine bay length would made it easier to get out.
I have a ‘99 Ranger with a 3.0l v6, it would be the “Vulcan”, correct?
Yes.
Should of beat the thing to get fan off. Beat and turn at same time the red wrench
Bro how did you pull your motor with your torque converter that's supposed to be attached to flex plate attached to your bell housing out that happen man lol
I just got a B3000 V6 and the gaskets are shot and I’m tryna find out whether to do it myself or pay a shop to machine it new.
What's up with Mittens Man and Cargo Pants Cowboy?

Well , lots of thing NOT to do. 😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAH
Right, I stopped watching when he did not even remove the hood first.
You should have put plate on intake and put your engine puller hook on that. you didn't disconnect engine synchronizer cable ,it pulled off ? Ouch ?
Can you plz tell me what size the nuts were you took off the fly wheel.
Nice video but the sound is to low thank you
Next time take it to a shop you never pull the torque converter out with the engine you’ll destroy the pump on the transmission
Yeah he probably did bust the transmission pump. I wouldn't let work on anything I have.
Do you have to disconnect anything with the AC unit?
AC didnt need disconnected.

Drop a 4.2 van engine in.. same bellhousing pattern and more power. Mustang support too

Why are all the videes showing you to remove engine accessories to remove engine?
I have to pull my engine :( I really really don't want to
Can a 4.0 fit ?
I like u
