Advice/Recommendations?

Ok I have a 97 4x4 Ranger 4.0 OHV. It has a blown head gasket, the motor is shot. I also have a 97 Ranger 2wd 4.0 OHV with no transmission. Both trucks are nice, the 2wd is probably the better looking truck. I've considered putting the good engine in the 4wd. I've also considered using the trams for the 2wd, but my question is. Is it even possible to use the 4wd trans in a 2wd? I would obviously sacrifice my 4wd, but as far as bolting up and actually functioning, would it work? Or would I be better off doing a simple motor swap? Thanks.

i'm hoping my new thread gets approved. i'm not trying for speed mods or the typical "sport" mods. i do want a road worthy ranger again. i'm gonna need a cab and frame most likely. i'm not a body man, mechanic, or welder. just a homesteader. i lost control of the missus' ranger and rolled it. now we're down a truck and i feel like **** because i was at the wheel. so i got lots of questions, but figure i can do a "swap restore"; is that a thing?? hopefully this is the right place.

This is an excellent idea. I'm a newbie and am looking forward to learning about my well used 1996 work truck, without being too annoying with beginner questions here.

I'm sure this isn't the place for this, so need help with that. have a 2000 Mazda b2500, how or where do I ask if there are people that may have parts laying around that I could use, or give me a heads up where to find the little stuff. Ford Rangers and Mazda are a lot alike in a lot of places so what fits what would be a help also. Sorry, want to stay on the good side of site members. f
