1988 engine to a 1989 Mustang 5.0 V8 302
Thinking about starting a swap. I was hoping to put a 5.0 V8 302 from a 1989 Mustang LX 5 Speed into a 1984-'88 Ranger.
What Trim/Motor/Transmission shell should I get? I was hoping to just buy a cheap Ranger off Craigslist with a busted motor and just swap in the 302. Do I have to keep it manual? Would a 2.9L swap easier than a 2.3?
What else should I know before going ahead and buying a shell?
I already have the motor from my cousin. It has about 140k miles on it and is from the Mustang specified above.
Thanks
