T5 with a V8 swap???

[mybadford]

I am wanting to swap a V8 into a 1984 Ranger 2wd using a T5 tranny. I read somewhere that I can use a T5 from a Chevy S-10 for the mid mount shifter and swap the bell housings. Is this true? Has anybody done this? I have access to a T-5 with no bell housing from a 1988 S-10 that had a 4.3 V6.
