Pretty much only another 2.3l will work if easy and cheap is a parameter.
Anything else will require another transmission, engine bay wiring and computer for different size engine, and of course the engine.
2.0l/2.3l/2.5l Lima engines have a unique transmission bolt pattern.
If you could find a donor Ranger 4x4 that was rolled or rusted out, and can get it cheap you can do the full swap, engine/trans, wiring and computer

Good read here on your Lima 2.3l engine: The Ford Ranger 4-Cylinder Lima Motors - The Ranger Station
Usually after a spun main bearing the crank can be turned and an over-sized bearing can be used, while this is not the best thing to do it is often the least expensive.
Next would be a used 2.3l Lima

but a ranger that old and paid off , i personally would do a complete 5.0 / A4OD driveline swap
but that would depend on how sound the body / suspension and frame are
