Hi everyone my name is sam I am new here! I have installed a 2000 3.0 flex fuel (v) into my 2005 3.0gas (u).. I noticed that the power steering pump lower nipple is directly above the upper control arm mount.. I cannot install the rubber hose!! Also my driver's side exhaust manifold is almost touching the heat shield on the frame.. I did swap intake manifold and injectors with the 2005 also upper plenum. I also used the exhaust manifolds from the 05 and motor mounts are brand new however I am using the engine brackets from the 2000 I am hoping they are the same.. appearance they looked the same before I scrapped the 05 block but now I don't know. Anyone please help I only have untill the 20th this month to get this ranger back on the road..

The problem is fixed mount bracket from the 2000 flex fuel block is on the left the mount bracket from the 2005 is on the right it lifts the engine 2-3" higher
