moutaineer motor in a

ok my 3.0 motor has just about had it i was thinking of getting a wreacked moutainerr and putting the motor and trans and about everything else that is i can in the ranger seats and dash and stuff and the rearend the mountaineer has a 302 in it so there is my V-8 i want and i was just wondoring if you guys thought it might work

it would be nice to hear about the opions on this becouse i dont want to put another 3.0 in it if i dont have to and how hard it would be and if possable i will do all the work myself no shop hate taking it to them
