I have a lifted 2010 2.3 ranger and I wanna do a swap but don't know which would be better. Which one is a cheaper swap and easy? Turbo diesel or v8? I wanna keep it manual so would I still be able to swap a v8 in? Is there a parts list for these 2 swap?

Have a read here on V8(5.0l) swaps: http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/index-conversions.shtml

I guess you may not have looked at the cost of used 4BT engines.
Google: used cummins 4bt engine

4BT would be the more expensive swap, probably 3 or 4 times cost of V8 swap, because of weight and frame issues with torque.

You can do manual with either
