96 Ranger engine swapping
Does anyone know what is involved in swapping out a 96 Ranger 2.3L over to a 351M, Ive been told that it takes the same motor mounts and bellhousing as the 302 swap. I'd like to verify this before i go diving in to the project and find out oops, bought the wrong stuff, also if anyone knows of web sites I can visit to assist me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Ken

It is the general consensus that small block engine perches also work on M blocks. However, the bellhousing is a big block bellhousing, 351M/400/460. This is a pretty common topic on the 61-79 forum.
