Have a question,would the 3.8 bolt up to an '87 ranger 5 spd tranny and if so would the tranny hold up to the power of it?

a rwd 3.8 has the same bolt pattern as a sbf i believe. so in doing a 3.8 swap you would have the option to bolt up a big boy truck transmisson like a zf 5peed or a older 4speed with granny low.
