Answer:

Try the info at James Duff. Lot’s of stuff for the Ranger, Bronco and Baby Bronco ( II for those who care) It would be easier to install a small block chevy.  However, DAMN THAT AN UGLY TRUCK;0) If you don’t smog, yep.  I know a guy with an ‘86. Quick ride, you’ll be pleased with it except for your underhood access will be miserable and you’re still stuck with an ugly Ranger body.
