I have a 96 Ranger 3.0 auto that is hitting 300,000 miles. I've got a 302 that i build for my F150 but know i'm thinking of transplating it in the Ranger. Is it a big deal in putting a SB in place of the V6.

Is there any special parts that are needed for this swap? I remember i had to buy motor mount plates for an 81 F150 because the newer trucks are mounted on the cross member and the older trucks were on the frame
