you can put any engine you want in your ranger.


efi to carb is simple...swap intake, and if you want to use a distributor, use a carb distributor.


your stock trans is out of the question. use a v8 transmission.

Most popular 5 speeds for a 302 are the Borg Warners/TREMEC transmission. The tech library here can help you on which one to choose.
