nice pics - by the way, pulled my 4d55t from the 87 ranger diesel today. she's a bit gummed on the outside, but it was nice to see it come out without much fuss. THANKS TO PMONTERO and DYLANB for keeping such well detailed info on your moves - gives me alot of confidence and guidance on my swap - this is my first diesel... She was running great a couple weeks ago before I started dismantling, so I am looking forward to switching main bearings, timing and balance shaft belts, and serpentine, and then drop into my 1986 Monty. One question - can the Ranger diesel tank work on the Montero? I'd sooner pull the entire fuel system off the Ranger to ensure it works out right, but is it possible/necessary?
