I was told earlier that the 5 speed tranny in my Ranger wasn't an M5od-R1. I'd backed off on my engine swap because of that. Can someone confirm what the tranny is?
Secondly I have a donor 2000 Mountaineer with the 4.0 SOHC that I want to put in it. I don't see problems with this and the 5 speed. Thoughts?

Everything I've read points to the 2.3 NOT having the same bellhousing as the 4.0.
The 2.8, 2.9, and 4.0 share the same pattern.
The 2.0, 2.3, and {edit; I think the 2.5 share the same pattern}. {2nd edit; see next post}
The 3.0 is by itself.

Some clarification; the 2.3/2.5 Lima has a different bell housing bolt pattern than the 2.3 Duratec, and both of those are different than the 2.9/4.0. :icon_thumby:
