Hello, I have recently started a v8 Ranger swap, I have a 302 EFI that is
now ready for install in my 92 2wd ranger. I have been trying to
decide on a manual trans for my Ranger, I like the format of the
M5od R2 (f-150 2wd five speed). My pickup was orginaly a 2wd 2.3L
manual. So the M5od require less modifing due to hydrolic clutch and
the same nuetral safty switch, speed sensor(vss). I am not sure on
clearance issues due with trans due to larger truck 163 tooth flywheel.
I am useing a dual sump oil pan and would like to know if anyone has
put this trans and setup with 302 in a 2wd ranger. (best motor mount
setup to utilize front engine compartment space for belt driven fan and
radiator tucked under support). I have been thinking if trying a
87-93 covertable mustang mount that has a stud on bottom of mount
that would alow me to locate engine in best space possibe by drilling
holes in frame for studs. Can anyone give me some idea's , or has anyone
put this setup in a ranger before?
Thanks,
