Okay so I found a 1990 Ford bronco with a 302 and a zf5 transmission. I'm putting it in my 1985 Ford ranger 5 speed 4 wheel drive. Should it be an easy swap or will I have any problems?
 
I think you will find that you need the front accessories from an Explorer or 94-95 Mustang to make the engine fit in your engine bay. You will also need an intake that is not so tall as what you have on the truck engine, so I would suggest you grab the intake from the Explorer/Mustang engine as well. Beyond that its fairly straightforward.
 
Moved thread to V8 engine swaps.
