Hey guys. Im new here. I have searched and searched and searched again. But i cant fi d anything. Heres my situation. I have a 2003 ford ranger edge with the 3.0 and auto tranny. I found a decent deal on craigslist for a 302 and auto tranny from a 1988 ford f150. It also comes with the ecu and wire harness. Will i be able to use the stock column gear selector? Or do i need to buy an after market floor mounted one? And how hard would tbe wiring be? I have no issues running a race truck set up with hard wired fuel pump, hard wired fan, push button ignition. Any ideas or somebody to educate me a little more?

Using an 88 as your donor ain't a good idea. Its intake wont fit, your current motor has more power than the non HO 88 5.0, and its OBD1 so your speedo won't work. You need a 99-01 explorer 5.0 as your donor...
