M5ODR2 into a ranger (research for project)

[Doorjam13]

I'm looking into doing a OM617 diesel swap in a 1993-2006 ranger 2wd using the kit from Mercedes4x4.com. I already have the donor car a 1983 300SD, the website says that there kit hooks up to a M5ODR2 trans. So my question is what will I need for the M5ODR2 trans to fit into a 1993-2006 ranger(i have not bought the truck yet)?
Will the driveshaft hook up without shortening it?
Will I need to cut and floor pan for the shifter?
Will the slave cylinder need to be changed out for the F150 one?
What year/model F150 should I look for to get the trans from?

I know this a lot of questions but if yall have answers or links to old thread shot them at me.

Thanks yall

Will the driveshaft hook up without shortening it? DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU MOUNT THE ENGINE. YES IT WILL HOOK RIGHT UP WITH NO MODIFICATIONS

Will I need to cut and floor pan for the shifter? IF YOU HAVE THE PRE 97 TRANSMISSION. YES THE SHIFTER IS FURTHER FORWARD. BUT THE 97 UP ONES FROM A 4.2 HAVE THE SAME SHIFTER LOCATION AS THE RANGER.

Will the slave cylinder need to be changed out for the F150 one?
What year/model F150 should I look for to get the trans from? NO ONE FROM THE RANGER IS A DIRECT SWAP. AND 97-02 F150 WITH THE 4.2 IS PREFERABLE. BUT 88-96 WILL FIT AS WELL. JUST HAS THE SHIFTER LOCATION CLOSER TO THE DASH
