hi, my roomate is throwin a 302 into his 87 ranger and i can find tons of info on the motor swap but no info on junkyard trannys and transfer cases.

he has a 4spd out of a 80s f150 but the transfer case is to big, i belive its a 208 maybe? so my question is what are you guys running, without buying expensive adapters.

Don't know where you are located, but you shouldn't have trouble finding a 205 case. Make sure you don't pick up a chevy unit as that is a P/S drop case. Start on craigslist and go from there.

I am actually just starting on a ranger build.... i am going to try the 203/205 doubler in mine.
