I am swapping a 5.0 Explorer drivetrain into a 98 Ranger 2WD...I once read somewhere that one of the manual trans from an Explorer or Mountaineer will bolt up to the 5.0 using all the Ranger hardware (shifter location, pedals, etc.)
Seems it was a 2002 or 2003, can someone confirm on this, any helpful advice greatly appreciated...not into automatics, I enjoy "rowing my own", or as my friend calls it when at the 1/8 mile track, his "variable-speed torque converter".
Thanks in advance.
