I have no idea what you're talking about. Going to take your engine out and install a Briggs & Stratton?

a 8hp is an 8 speed, found in trucks like rams, and car like bmws challangers and chargers, so on

Is anyone adapting them? I see Duratec to Beamer, but I wouldn't expect Cologne.

I wouldn't swap anything from Ram/Fiat into my truck.

ZF made them so it's fine.

That is an expensive adapter... I'm gonna be purchasing one soon but mines only gonna run me 1100..

What's even more expensive is the standalone controller you'd need to get the thing to shift.. found one online and the company wants 2500 bucks lol.

I have honestly never heard of anyone doing this in a Ranger.

6R80 Ford is a pretty good trans, you may look into that as an alternative if you strike out with the 8spd. It is only a 6spd if that is one of your criteria though.
