sry to bring back the dead thread but..
i have a 92 thunderbird that came stock with a 5.0, after i blew it up i swapped in a 351w from a 95 f250. I reused the stock 5.0 mount brackets but used a hockey puck and a bolt to mate the two together. It lowered the engine about an inch and i'm able to clear the stock hood with it. I know its not the same as a ranger but may be a thought.
this is an old thread but they have alot of locals here, houma's my backyard and im from metairie, glad i joined
