Lucky you I have done this before. First you will need to search you local wrecking or salvage yards and find the transfer case adapter from a 2wd (bronco II) this will give you the adapter to put the c5 trans to the ranger transfer case. Yes I did say from a 2wd it has a dummy transfer case. From there is is a mater of measuring and getting the engine mount adapter from either Trans Dapt or advaced adapters and go for it.
