Lets have your info, since the old stuff appears to be gone.
Jared
Mine is.
Duff 4 core rad.
A.A. motor mounts
A.A. Headers
Duff oil filter relocation kit
mustang dual sump pan.
M5OD-R2 tranny, with a A.A. adpater to the stock 13-50 T-case
I went with mostly Trans-dapt parts.
Frame mounts--#9716
Rubber mounts-- '81-'86 F150 (E4TZ6038-H)
Dual sump pan-- '80s Mustang
Pick up--Sealed Power 224-14118
Filter Relocation-- TD1113 plus the 1413 horizontal adaptor
It should be noted that with this pan there is no provision for a dip stick. Must use a '78-up block (tube hole in block) or adapt one to pan.
I had purchased a \"donor\" '79 Granada so I stayed with most of the parts from it.
Installation was simple, the c4 mounted to the Ranger trans mount with no mods although the frame mount had to be move forward a bit but there were existing holes.
I cut the top of the rad support and just use hood pins for 2 reasons 1) It was easier to install the engine/trans combo 2) to install the Granada rad. I used the upper hose from the Granada and the lower hose was a universal \"flex\" hose from a local auto parts store.
I initially used the exhaust manifolds from the Granada (d/side had to be ground on bottom a little for x-member clearance). But switched to Hedman #89500 Pass/side top frame channel had to be ground approx. 1 1/2 inch long by 1/8 inch deep, otherwise they just dropped in.
For the rear I narrowed a 9\"(42\" f-f), moved a set of '64 Comet springs(less spring rate) underneath the frame using Jeep shackles in back and fabbed a set of perches for the front. The stock rear tank still fits. I run 295/50/15s but am switching to 31/16.50/15 MTs...tons of room.
The truck had a v6 and 4spd. auto in it so the springs worked fine...the v8 combo is only about 75 lbs. heavier.
I think that's about it. Geo.

A better trick for the heater box instead of cutting a hole in it and patching
it back up is to use a heat gun and heat the plastic up VERY CAREFULLY
and mold it back by hand wearing good shop gloves
completely bolt in and go everything fits like a glove or better not a big fan of the duff radiator (prefer aluminum)

Simple swap. Just bolted the mounts to the block, lowered the motor down, did a levelin' and drilled. Tranny is a NP435 with the bell it was attached to for a 302, Dana 20 T/case. Chutch is a Wilwood hydraulic master and slave. Works like a dream. Runnin' Centerfore Dual Friction clutch.
Never had to worry about the heater box. Just had to give the firewall a few love taps and that was it.

what mounts did you use?
I'm doing my first swap and i'm on a bit of a limited budget. Trying to find a cheaper alternative to $150 "conversion mounts". I've heard stock stang mounts work?
Someone please help this newbie out. lol.
I used stock 302 motor mounts. Bolted them to the motor and then lowered her in. Tried to keep the motor as level as possible, marked and drilled. It was a lot easier than it seems. I've never had a problem with it. I've done 4 other conversions the same way and no problems.
For future conversions though, I'm going to cut out that POS crossmember, fabricate a new one to put either forward or behind the stock one, build new mount towers and do the set-up that way. It's a lot easier in my opinion, especially if you have to drop the pan.
302 with attached C-4 ( 1979 Cougar)
Duff oil filter relocation
1986 Ranger V-6 mounts ( repositioned )
Custom built BeCool radiator with intercooler
Stock 86 trans crossmember,(holes redrilled 1/4 inch narrower and 3/4 inch more forward
Cut out space in AC plenum for pass side valve cover, filled hole with corner of old frig vegatable drawer ( steel and had nice rounded corner)
Installed engine and transmission together as a unit no problem just had to pull crankshaft belt pulley off for clearance.
No body lift and have tons of room around bell housing area

headers custom made, 15/8\" pri to 3\" fenderwell exit, side piped
adapted a 70's saginaw 4spd to truck bellhousing using 11\" clutch and hydralic

7.5 rear/d28 front from diesel w/larger yoke
motor mounts from 79' lincon

86' 351W stroked to 396ci full race build (12.5:1 victor jr. ported and polished, race cam, main girdle, h beam rods, forged crank ~575hp)

(looking at a d60 front / d60 rear later)
82' 306ci mild build(10:1 gt40 heads, mild cam and EFI ~225hp)
made my own pan by cutting sump off of a truck pan and welding on a kick out. (i thought if it works so well, why change! plus I have the patteren all drawn out..)

If I could say anything about these three trucks, its LIFT THE BODY!!! it is so much easier to do these kind of conversions when you have an extra 2 - 3 inches to work with under there. Also dont screw around with using tiny radiators. throw the biggest one in that will fit in the frame. You will be glad you did when you get 20 miles from no where on a 115 degree day

There's been quite a few who've done what you're asking. The one thing that comes to mind in that swap is the cable linkage on the Stang clutch. You'll need to either fabricate something yourself to adapt it to the Ranger, or buy a slave cylinder setup to work with the Ranger's hydraulic system. Otherwise just about everthing else the Stang 5.0 and transmission will work on the Ranger, with the exception of the exhaust headers. The left side 94-95 Stang header will work in a Ranger, but the rightside is another matter. There's some who trimmed the frame rail to fit that side, Not a good solution in my opinion for a novice, if you're good at welding and fabricating, then go for it. If you're talking about the 94-95 Stang 5.0. then you may get by with a Ranger 4.0 Heavy duty radiator, if it's the earlier 5.0, then you'll need to relocate a radiator into the radiator support.has anyone just straight up pulled a 5.0 coupled to a five speed out of a mustang and dropped the mustang engine and trans in their ranger? if so did it work well and how hard was it.
