I checked around as well, the tailhousing between the two M5s are different, doubt the shaft interchage either due to size. There is some side to side room but it depends on headers. Also too much will cause driveline issues. I could really get into driveshaft angles and harmonics but that...
Almost guranteed that the 1356 will require you to trim on the frame somewhere. Less chance with the Np208, and no trimming should be required for a NP 205 but you will have to make an extra mount for that one. I've never cared to try being I don't use the R2 but the question that seems to...
The 1354 won't bolt to a fullsize transmission without adapters. I'm taking it that your NP205 issue is the shift rail is in the way hitting the extension housing. No big deal just grind a notch out of the extension housing and bolt it up. If you are unsure where to grind most transmission...
I would recommend a regulator on any electric pump. I holley blue need a return regulator for sure as well as any high pressure (8-14ish psi) carb pump. If you dont use a return regulator you will get a surge and will flood the carb just as if you were not using a regulator at all. I'm...
I had the same setup in a BII. That thing drove no different than the near identical 2.9L one I had aside from power. Both drove light years ahead of my lifted Ranger.

bet on the core support being gone, under the lip of the wheel wells, firewall by the heater box, the back hatch area along the bottom (under the plastic panel infront of the bumper too), spring shackles...I'm sure there is more I'm fogetting.

Exactly, width isn't the problem. The heater box is a definite. If you are pretty good you can cut the chunk out, flip it around and plastic weld it back in. I'm good with fiberglass, I used that instead. There is a seam in the trans tunnel that sometimes needs to be pounded over. It's not...
The best suggestion will be do go to the junkyard and find a better fitting manifold, they are out there. You can cut the frame if you wish, I wouldn't go back more than 3/4in or so. I saw a local kid here who pretty much cut out the top of the frame rail to clear headers on a V8 Ranger. I...
You will need a decent stroker kit to get that kind of HP without any power adder. Do some research before you start tossing in parts, adding a heathly shot of nitrous to a high compression engine will kill it very quickly if you don't know what you are doing. The 302 headers won't work as...
From what I recall all the hydraulic internal slave lines use the same connection. They all have to interchange, my reason being is I'm still using a stock Ranger line (Mitzu FM146) with my ZF. It hooked up fine and the ZF was an option to replace the M5ODR2. I haven't worked on an R2 in a...
Yeah the T5 adapter has been discontinued for a few years now. Sometimes you can get lucky on ebay but sometimes it will cost an arm and a leg too. If you want this thing to shift like a mustang I would use the T5 and a divorced t-case. My ZF shifts like a school bus, I can shift pretty fast...
There are a few options. Look for the AA kit, if you can find one. Try to use chevy t5 parts. I don't have any info on that one. Lastly and probably the cheapest. Use a divorced t-case. You can use the stock T5 as is, a tiny driveshaft and the t-case and crossmember. The most common you...
The NP205 or 208 is good. The 208 is a little of a tight fit but with some very minor trimming on the case and at most 1/4in on the bottom of the frame and it fits well. The 205 fits as is but it is extremely heavy and has a poor 1.96:1 low range, but it is super tough.
