Picked up a Getrag MT-82 from an EcoBoost Mustang. Good news is that it all fits, bad news is it's super snug. We'll make it work. The shifter is in the right place so that's nice. *The engine and trans are sitting a good inch or two too high in these pics.
Planning on using a Ranger oilpan, clutch, starter, and motor mount brackets. Belt drive will be Ford Escape with alternator on the exhaust side and AC on the drivers. There's not much room between the front of the engine and the radiator support, so that might have to be trimmed a bit.
I need to do all the metal work on the body, add some frame rails and suspension, weld it all up and such. Maybe in a year it'll be ready for primer.
