C-4 is th only thing that will bolt between a ranger T-case and mustang V-6, without any fancy adapters.

the manual tranny behind it would be a T-5.
as for a zuke holding up to it, I really don't know on that one, it depends on what axles you are runnning. But the stang 3.8 should be pretty comparable to a chevy 4.3, and lotsa of people run them.

i would just leave the aod or get a c6 and convert to 4x4 and run a 203/205 doubler or any other big ford case you want.

I would pass on the Ford 3.8. Unless of course you like changing head gaskets. My family has had a few 3.8s and every one fo them had head gasket problems.

by 2000 they pretty much got the head gasket problems licked. I wouldn't worry about it, and they grew some balls too.

i believe by 2000 they were up at 200hp.. im not perfect in my mustang tech.. 2000 was the change to the new body style? (the harder edge one) if so then they definetly have the 200hp 3.8.

they go pretty decent actually.
