Ranger engine swap

[Matsumoto]

I have a small issue i've been searching online for this but i'm a bit confused,
i have a 1993 ford ranger xlt 3.0 ltr v6 4x4 with a blown engine and i have a 1996 ford ranger splash RWD 4.2 ltr v6, i want to know if the 4.2 ltr is a direct bolt up to the 3.0 ltr transmission. any help is really appreciated.

not a 4.2, but 4.0. to answer your question, no.

The correct answer is put a Cummins in it..

But I second on petes post.. No because of the 4 wheel drive

the 3.0L and 4.0L have different bellhousing patterns and are not directly swap-able against the existing bellhousing if auto. manuals (edit M5OD-R1) are "one-piece." Whether it's 4x4 or not really doesn't matter.
