They will fit either way.... The Mustangs, Tbirds, Cougars, Mark-VII, have them facing the passenger side. While the Big Fords, Mercs, and Lincolns, have them facing the driver side. If you are installing the engine in a Ranger, I'd try for the least amount of interference from other accesories, wiring, throttle cable etc... BTW the throttle body, cable, and EGR spacer are different for the right vs left setup.
