Hello,
These are not interchangeable.
That being said, it might be possible to do that swap but it will require every single computers as well as modifications.
You will also need the drivetrain as well. Keep in mind that the length of the shaft are not the same on these two vehicles.
So if you can get every single components then you might be able to make it work.
Here is a helpful tutorial on engine replacement:

I have included the engine replacement procedure for the Ranger with 3.0.
Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
