ranger 302 or 351?

you can even go with a 429/460 if you want,but the 302 fits in nicely.The 351 is a little wider than the 302 so headers/manifolds will hit the frame rails. My orignal swap was 69 302,T-18 4spd with a NP205(wicked heavy).Then i changed tranny and t-case to a C5 and stock t-case and lost 200lbs.
Motor mounts-4cyl ones with adapter plates
rear cross member-4cyl one
front drive shaft-stock one
rear drive shaft stock one
relocate your oil filter
small fuel pump(i think i used the LTD one)
find a 79/80 LTD with a 302,It has all the brackets for your stock PS and ALT(4cyl has serpentine belt,V6 has V belt) also has the throtle cable,crank pully(serpentine),water pump(aluminum) and pully.
For exhaust i uesd the stock 69 van(thats what the engine came out of) manifolds and Y pipe.Bolted right in.Later i cut the Y pipe and made duals.I'll post some pics later
