The point was that neither the engine (from Ford's Lima line of engines) nor the transmission from the Pinto has anything to do with Mazda.

True - the Ford engine was available in the Mazda produced Courier with Ford badging. But there was never a -Mazda- engine in the Ranger.

and the pinto predated the courier.

I think the pinto was the first to get a 2.0/2.3

Shame it never got the European ford twin cam, probably would have spanked a 302 mustang.
