5.0 swap

Alright so I have an 85 mustang gt, that body wise has become a rust bucket. I wanna pull the engine (302) and the trans (5 speed manual) and eventually put them in an 84 or 85 ranger. My question is, is it possible to use the mustangs 5 speed in the ranger?

I believe the trans cross member has to be modified.

Also welcome to TRS. This topic is better suited for the V-8 section.

Yes, with mods you can, but use the search function and look at the other sections we have here. There are some great tech sections on all kinds of goodies.
