I know there is a cooling port difference between the ranger head and the Taurus head requiring the use of a Taurus head gasket on the ranger block when using Taurus heads. Many manufactures use a different cam in a truck engine than a car engine so I would look there also in your searches to see if there is a difference along with combustion chamber differences.
I'm pretty sure ford made a dual cam head that gave it a big boost in HP and torque but this requires a matching block to accommodate the feature, seen one in a ford probe so I know they exist but not sure they were an option in the ranger.
It was @ericbphoto that was building a 3.0L for his overlander. There hasn't been an update on that in a while.
