The 3.8SC engine may be to tall and you do have a inter cooler on one side , kind of bulky , helped a friend remove one to fix bottom end noise , over 200k of being rode hard and put up wet , do not know if you have enough room , and you still have to see if you can mod the oil pan , rear sump to front sump and make up motor mounts , and your car is nice don't cut it up , find a rust bucket to try on , a bolt in would be a 2.9 out of a merkur Scorpio , use the same mounts ,oil pan and transmission, as for the computer vss on the trans us the speedo cable from a bronco II, if you want more power use the up to 1994 ranger 4.0 , the 2.8 mounts , flywheel and trans will bolt to the 4.0. The oil pan from the 2.8 will fit with some mods on one side , (I have already done a trial fit , use stock radiator too, hope this helps , later Blaine
