Another thing to try is a V8 Explorer or mountaineer (with the 302). Has GT40P heads and a GT40 style intake. And if you cam get the whole truck you get the engine mounts, headers, wiring, A/C lines, everything. Think about it. Factory swap parts!

Explorer/Mountianeer IS Ranger platform. Rollovers are pretty cheap, and most drivetrains are in good condition. Go have some fun!
