you'll need to re-use almost everything from your ranger. the only parts you want from the tempo is the block, heads, and valve covers. you should also change the head gaskets (fwd and rwd applications flow coolant in opposite directions, which is achieved using different head gaskets). you'll need to use the rangers accessory brackets, all sensors and wiring, exhaust, etc.
