right now i have a 89 short box 4x4 ranger with the 2.3l and the mazda 5 speed, and ive been lookin for a suitable 5.0 to use. i see a lot of the swaps on here are using the 5 speed mazda from the f150's, and id much rather use the t18 4 speed, but how much more difficult is that or will it even work?
