M5OD-R1 interchange

I’m needing a manual trans for my 1993 3.0 ranger. What M5OD’s will interchange? All my internals are good, just a cracked bell housing so anything that can be swapped I can do but I just need to know which trannys can actually be fitted to my truck

You need one from another 3.0L Ranger as I don't think it shares a belhousing bolt pattern with any other motor.

It's for sale in the SoCal area, if you're nearby. (I prefer not to ship.)

Additional info:

As you know, the bell housing is cast as part of the case, so if you want to swap your parts into another case, you will have to disassemble the whole thing. In the process, you might damage a couple of the big bearings that are pressed onto the output shaft.
