well you would need:
-motor mounts
-tranny
-tranny crossmember or custom one
-either Explorer exaust manafolds or custome made headers to clear the steering shaft
-Explorer V8 radiator
-Explorer v8 wiring harness
-Explorer v8 PCM
-Explorer v8 power distribution box
-and probably all kinds of other parts that i can't think of off the top of my head...
and if you are going to go with a carbed v8 you would need a lot of fabed parts to get the gas pedal to work.....

98+ Ranger swaps are much easier with the special compact 302 used in the Explorer.
97 and earlier Rangers have a different front suspension and frame and more room in the engine bay. They accept just about any 302 that has the right set of key components.
Here are some links for V8 conversions on 97-back:
