so im going to be switching a 2wd ranger to 4wd. i have most of the parts (...i think) laying around. the catch is i have a 4wd trans with transfercase off of a 2.9 and the truck i have is a 3.0. seeing as they are both v6's whats the likely hood that the 2.9 trans will fit onto the 3.0 block? they are both 5spd manual transmissions.

The 2.9 and 4.0 share the same bellhousing pattern but the 3.0 is it's own animal. You need a 3.0 trans.

nope, you can't swap bell housings. the only manual trans that came with a 3.0 didn't have a removable bell housing, it was all one piece.
