I don't think Painless makes a wiring harness DIRCTLY for a ranger 302 swap. The benefit from the Painless system is the wiring is labeled, organized, and ready for you to install it how ever you want.

The hard part is trying to hardwire a, for example, a mustang harness into a ranger's wiring. I'm in the middle of trying to see what goes where in my build. My engine harness is from a 93' mustang, and it takes a while to figure out where the heck anything goes.

But, like other people have posted on here before, get a good wiring diagram for the ranger and the donor vehicle will get you started.

Plus, isn't Painless, like, $500 or more?

I got a 5.0 swap harness from some place on ebay. Think it was called the "detail zone" ( think they may be associated with FORDFUELINJECTION.COM in some way)or something like that. It was top notch, came labeled and with very clear instructions for about $425
