helllo,im new here. just got a few questions. i own a 98 ranger 2.5l 5spd manual 2wd. i want to do an engin swap. i know most people would say put the turbo eng in ther . but i dont like turbos that much. i was doing some reaserch and figured that the 04 ford escape or 01+ford svt focus 2.0l dohc zetec are the eng that i found or think would fit. but still theres the question will they bolt up to my existing 5spd manual trans ? i know the focus is fwd . the new rangers come with dohc engs. but those probably hard or impossible to find being brand new. any information would be greatly appeciated. not intrested in turbo 2.3. not worried about $$$. would be happy to here the svt focus eng would fit but probably wont align with rwd tranny. any info would be really healpful. thank you all.
