Longitudinal transmissions that fit 3.0?

I have one of those M5R2's in my garage, they're not all that tough and are not made to shift even remotely quick. You'd be better off with the 4.6 options.
 
what other 4.6 options? honestly, I'm almost willing to give up a manual trans to get AWD... the practical application of this ride would be for towing stuff that you wouldnt normally see a ranger towing....

last night I was looking to see if there where any small turbo diesels that might be able to go in it as well. open to ideas, the only thing I'm set on is it being a 96 style ranger with OBDII and I-beam front suspension...
 
have you thought about going to a ranger forum and asking the question over there? chances are someone might have actually done a similar swap ...
 
I'm trolling some ranger forums right now. I'd rather not converse with most of the guys though because from experience (I had a 90 and a 92 before, and I was looking at doing a turbo lima swap before) a lot of ranger guys are rednecks, and I'd rather not get into any more internet forum flame fights than I already do...

I dont need directions on how to turn it into grave digger...
 
So did the mustang become FWD, or do they change the bell housing in the mazda 6 depending on the displacement of the duratec under the hood???

Duratec 37
The Duratec 37 3.7 L (3721 cc; 227 CID) V6 is another member of the Ford Cyclone engine family. The Duratec 37's additional displacement over the Duratec 35 is achieved through a 3 mm increase in bore diameter which results in a 95.5 mm (3.76 in) bore.

The engine began production in the 2008 Mazda CX-9 under Mazda's MZI moniker and produces 273 hp (204 kW) at 6,250 rpm and 270 lb·ft (366 N·m) at 4,250 rpm.[8] The American assembled version seen in the 2009 Lincoln MKS produces 275 hp (205 kW) at 6,250 rpm and 276 lb·ft (374 N·m) at 4,250 rpm. A few days before the 2009 Los Angeles International Auto Show, Ford unveiled a new version of the Duratec 37 for the 2011 Mustang, making it the first Duratec-badged V6 since the Lincoln LS to be used in a production rear-wheel drive car. The new version of the engine features Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT) and, thanks in part to the addition of this technology, makes 305 hp (227 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 280 lb·ft (380 N·m) at 4,250 rpm while delivering 31 mpg-US (7.6 L/100 km; 37 mpg-imp) highway mileage in the Mustang.[9][10] This RWD Ti-VCT version has also since been added to the engine lineup of the F-150 pickup for 2011.
