Start by removing EVERYTHING from the engine bay where the 2.8 is now.

By the time you are done the only thing left in there should be the headlight wiring harness and an empty battery tray.

then take EVERYTHING out of the donor engone bay and put it in.

Don't forget "details" like the throttle cable

If you follow the same proceedure for the fuel system
you can use the Bronco2 fuel lines from the fuel filter forward, but for the stuff in the back you are going to have to go junkyard crawling (literally) to get a set of Ranger lines because they are very different
