I have a 99 Ranger 3.0L auto super cab 4wd. 223k and I Love my truck, I just had the transmission rebuilt and I am wanting to put a 5.0L in it, will the trans mount up to it? The 5.0L is coming out of an Explorer AWD

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Welcome! The transmission behind your 3.0l (M5OD-R1) has a different bellhousing bolt pattern and will not mate to the 5.0l. You will want an m5OD-R2 transmission.

Ok thank you for the information, So would the Explorer transmission mount up to the 4wd transfer case instead of the AWD transfer case?
