I think the engine it is too wide to fit in your Ranger, can you find pictures of one already installed in a 1st generation?
But, if I did the swap I would go with a carb set up. If going stock, you are going to need a programmer, imho, if you plan on getting this off the ground without going broke going to a dealership or speed shop. That plus a 3" body lift and doing something with your steering. I am pretty sure the 4.6 heads will go right where your steering shaft is. Clearance on the heater box is doubtful. Are you removing the whole harness from the Mustang?
A 2001 Mustang is more complicated then a 1998 Mustang.
What about the exhaust and the cats?
What about the fuel tank, the fuel pump, and lines?
What about the speedometer head unit ??????
What about the vapor canister and check valve/sensor for the gas cap on the filler neck? (which I believe is on the 2001 Mustang).
PATS?

Edelbrock VICTOR JR MANIFO Part 2839

$1247.99
I see this "free" engine being $2500 just in additional parts, not counting the labor, if it fits, along with the transmission. You are going to do some welding and fabbing to use the transmission (AT or MT) and rear axle. Not to mention the driveshaft.
Anything is possible with enough $ and time when it comes to sticking an engine into a vehicle.
For $2500 and 100 hours, I would buy a beat 1990-1994 4.0L 4x4 Explorer, buy a reman engine with 3 year warranty, and swap that deal in. Or buy a low mileage Explorer with a blown tranny, swap the drive train and put in a rebuilt transmission. That way you get a better rear axle, a good front axle if 4x4, some extra rims (hopefully alloy), maybe some better buckets. The Explorer swap would probably be 30-40 hours.
