Fm146 transmissions

[Phibbsie]

Hey folks. Curious here I recently blew up a fm146 E95a in my 1989 B2, I have purchased a 1990 ranger with a fm146 E85a the seem similar in measurements and mounting location. Only real visible difference is the E85a has an intergrated bell housing and the E95a has a bolt on bell, both have 20t input spline and save transfer case. Anybody swap with success?

All FM146 should have a detachable bell. Are you sure the Ranger doesn't have an M5OD? If from the right engine group it would still work since the dimensions are the same.
