ranger 302 swap

Hi everyone, I just put a new 2.9 in my 90 ranger automatic,it popped already so now i'm gonna wise up and throw in a 302efi out of a 93 f150. Now I know I have to change the mounts and exhaust and do some customizing. I'm wondering exactly what I will need to complete this project and will the auto trans thats on the 302 work. Also a body lift would help right? Cost Factor? Any help would be much appreciated.

There are a few Ranger web sites that have forums just for V8 swaps. Do a google search, you'll find all the information you need.

There is a good bit of info on this. There are a few transmissions you can use. Whatever is in the F-150 will fit but if you are looking for exact models the C4, C6 AOD, AODE and E40D will all fit the E4OD will be very tight without a body lift. A body lift isn't needed but does help a little. You will need engine mounts (buy or make them) a radiator, oil filter relocation kit, headers if you wish or some junkyard manifolds, all the wiring from the 150 and if you have a 4x4 either an adapter kit to use the stock t-case or use a fullsize t-case and make new driveshafts. That will get you started for what you are looking to do.
