Default Explorer 5.0 mounts in 98 3.0 2wd ranger

I’m having a hell of a time with my 5.0 swapped ranger I need to know one thing. Will Ford Explorer 5.0 motor mounts swap into my 2000 Ford Ranger 3.0 2wd frame without drilling. I have the donor explorer with the motor mounts in it that I can use. Will it work? Thank you

Not unless the RWD is the Edge or Sport model with torsion bar front suspension.

The coil spring Rangers need custom mounting plates and the spacer under the left mount must be removed.

Yeah, if coil spring you'll need these:
