No, it won't fit. The newest trans and I think the only 5 speed that will bolt up would be a ZF 5 speed from a truck with a 460.

can you get the trans code off the door sticker? With that we could tell you what it is.

Gut feel, if it's the original '87 transmission, it's likely a TK5, though there's a reasonable chance it's an FM145 or 146. The Ranger Station has a decent transmission identification page.

And, even if you did get either of those BII transmissions to bolt up to a those engines, those big engines would rip those little transmissions to shreds. Those trannys did ok behind the 2.9L; they are questionable for use behind a 4.0L; and I wouldn't even start to try them behind any V8.
