ok dont hate me. and i know this has been discussed before. i have either a chevy 350 or a chevy 307 motor i would like to stick in my ranger. im leaning towards the 350. either which way i wanna know as to what kind of alterations will be needed. i know the firewall because of our big honking distributors. but will the oil pan clear? how bout engine mounts. i plan on using stock chevy ram manifolds. will i need to fabricate mounts or can i use stock chevy pieces? i have 1 tk4 speed, so i wanna keep it a manual. what king of tranny will work? and what will i have to adapt to make my hydraulic clutch work? will my stock rear hold. im not dragging or beating the crap out of it. will it hold for some light duty, 170 horse, maybe some 1st gear drops? any help is great. and yes i have already been over putting a 302 in it. 1 dont have one, 2 have no money to buy one, 3 have 2 good engines looking for a home. and my 2.3 is just pathetic. im only a saftey inspection so emissions is not a concern
