If you feel motivated, you can drop a beefier T5 tranny in your Ranger along with the SHO motor. There are guys who have fabricated adapters w/pilot bushings that allow for the SHO engine to bolt up to a T5. In fact, one of our own fellow FTE members is putting this SHO 3.0L/T5 combo in his '52 Ford as I write this. He's the same guy who is/was fabricating the adapters, BTW.

You can go with a SHO flywheel and pressure plate with a 9 1/2" clutch with a 1 1/16" - 10 spline center. You also use an Aerostar bellhousing ('86-'87) and throwout/slave combo which is the same as the mid-80's Bronco II internal unit.

The RoguePerformance site has more information on the actual mechanics of swapping a T5 into a Ranger.
