Yes, a friend did it in his 40 ford p/u running behind a buick straight 8. 12 forward 8 reverse. Mounts were a nightmare but (joke follows) he could start it put it in gear, go take a shower and have breakfast and not have it leave his really short driveway. Four on the floor AND three on the tree with overdrive knob.

Flywheel for engine, clutch disc of appropriate diameter from trans. pressure plate from engine.

Same process for slush box: flexplate from engine, drill 3 or 4 torque converter holes from tranny TQ. FORDS or CHEVIES are usually the same engine mount pattern across models.

The most important question: is it worth it? The ranger has 10 forward, 2 R, I use 3 mostly.
