HansB2 is right it's a tear thing, not an engine thing.
there are three styles of slave cylinder used on Ranger Based vehicles:
1)The '85-87 "top port" slave cylinder that connects with a hairpin clip
and an O-ring.
2)The '88-92 Aluminum side connect with a black or Red Dry break coupler
3)the '93-current "plastic" slave cylinder with the "gold" connector
You can use either the second or third type IF you are willing to swap
the plastic line that matches it as the Black (or Red) connectors are
NOT interchangable with the "gold" connector.
There is however another issue.
the master cylinders used in the '83-92 Rangers are all the same
but the master cylinder used from '93-on has a smaller bore.
so while the early master will drive the '93-up slave, but with
high pedal effort and a RAPID motion... if you try it the other way
around you'll be unhappy... because the late master simply won't
play nice with the earlier slaves.
