what other years are the same as the 3.o in the 96. is the 97 or 95 the same
 
all the ranger 3.0's can be dropped right in
 
3.0 Vulcans are all the same, FWD cars have different head gaskets that need to be changed if your putting it in a RWD Ranger or it will run a bit hotter than normal. If you do a swap with a later model engine, just use your intake, exhaust manifolds & accessories & you should have no problems. My 02 has an 07 engine in it now, I even used the oil pan from the Taurus donor motor.
Just be sure it is a Vulcan 3.0, and their are no problems using a flex fuel motor either.

if you wanted to get technical they only changed little things like reinforced ribs on the block and more weight on the flywheel and stuff like that i saw a link somewhere were it showed all the changes
