Default New ranger '97 rwd 2.3 rwd 5 speed. Looking for some part advice

So i have a ranger and im looking into swapping on certain better parts hopefully and just need advice on if it will fit or ehere i can get one that will fit.

First i checked my rear end and used the graph for my tire size...

Im looking for a 8.8inch 4.10 with LSD

Is the 2.5 sohc bolt right on?

I figure the newer 2.3 duratec might mount but needs wiring?

I heard if you want a v6 just buy a v6 truck.

I want a pretty straightforward drop in where i can make 250 hp

Nos, turbo 4 banger or v6.. i hear the 4 cyl(lima) is a pretty bad built motor always tapping? My truck feels anemic

Going to start a build forum too of yall do that here

2.5 you will need a whole donor truck. Hell might as well go 5.0.
