If you really want to, anything within reason is possible given patience to sort out the wiring. Good engine, but I'd rather just buy the whole Toyota than spend the time putting it into a Ranger.

I'm pretty sure everyone doesn't know that the original Ranger 2.3 came from Mazda.

The original Ranger 2.3L is of the Lima engine family developed by Ford of Europe. The M5 trans was a Mazda unit.

No, the M5 didn't come in the Pinto.
