I have a 2003 2.3l xl ford ranger. I put a 1997 ford explorer 302 5.0l v8 engine with a 2wd 4r70w transmission in it. I am trying to put the stock rangers drive shaft in and it wont fit.
What do I do?
 
Why doesn’t it fit?

If the two ends match but it’s too long you can have it shortened.

Otherwise you can have a new driveshaft made.
