98+ 2WD models that have front coil suspension will need custom mounts. Nobody makes them commercially but you can get plans from BrianB31, either here or on RPS.

No, they will not if the 99 Ranger is 2WD. The 4WD and 2WD frames are different.

In my 86 I was able to use the stock V6 motor mounts. All I had to do was make a flat plate to bolt to the motor. The drivers side had to be thicker to make it sit level. I just used 1/2 steel and doubled it on the drivers side, but just where it bolt to the motor and set it in. The mounts are just a stud sticking up so all I did was set the motor in where I wanted it then marked the plate and drilled the hole's. I use a duble sump oil pan and had no crealance problems what so ever.
