drop the 302 in there and get yourself a c4 tranny and put her behind the 302. i heared that you will or will make the job easier if your get a 3 inch body lift. you will have to put a elctric fan in and cut some out your heater box

The C-5 was put in the 83 and 84 Ranger and the 84 BII. So your 88 would be an A4LD unless someone has changed it (not likely). The C-5 has a removable bell housing. You can remove the 2.8 (works for the 2.9 and 4.0 also) bell housing and use one from a case fill c-4 or c-5 to small block v-8.
If your auto tranny has overdrive it is an A4LD. As was said no Ranger based tranny will just bolt up to a SBF. A 83 or 84 Ranger or the 84 BII is as close as you can get. Care must be taken when change the bell housing on the case fill C-4/5 to keep the input shaft and pump seated to the rear or parts will fall out of alignment and the valve body will need to be removed to properly assemble.
