i think you would be better off doing a 302 swap. you can use explorer 50 mounts exhaust manifolds, trans driveshaft and rear i believe. takes alot of the guess work out of it. plus you wont twist your frame to pieces. and unless your building a drag truck then a 302/306/331/347 will give you more than enough power for a ranger.
do some more research before you go about thinking this. ive been researching a 302 carb in a ranger for awhile. its no cake walk

Then it looks like you will only be paying for parts and you have the labor covered. So how much you spend will depend on what you buy. New/used on sale or retail.
You are doing soemthing that not many have tried and no one has documented that I can find. No one is really going to be able to answer general questions on the swap.
