2.9 and 4.0 are the same block, so if 2.8 trans will bolt to the 2.9, then the 2.8 trans will bolt to the 4.0

id say any OHV 4.0. The SOHC 4.0 has almost the same bellhousing, but it is one bolt different IIRC

I bumped your thread back to the top after moving it to the correct forum.
People will see your thread and possibly help you with an answer.

OHV is from 1990-2000 in the Ranger and the SOHC is 2001-2011
