Ranger Engine swapping

Ranger Engine swapping
Are all ranger motors interchangeable.
For example:if i bought a 2001 ranger with a 3.0 v6 with 5 speed trani, and i found a 1995 4.0 v6 with an automatic trani, could i just swap them without changing anything. what about changing from a 4 cylinder to a v6???
Which years are interchangeable?

No.
Not only are there variations of each engine through-out the years, but each have different PCMs, wiring harnesses, engine mounts, trans mounts (I think), exhaust systems, transmissions (some years/engines are shared) and I believe a few interior wiring pins/gauge sensors/senders.
I could be mistaken on a couple things, but it's by not quite plug & play.
