i have a 97 ranger with a 5/7 drop and i want to put the 302 in my truck but would i beable to bag my truck would there be room and if i do the swap should i go with a early 90 mustang and get the motor, computer, and trans also i was thing about putting in a explore 8.8 rear end in my truck is that a good idea. Thank for any info

Yes.

The explorer rears might be too wide (thinking of your bags), depends on your offset I guess...try to get a rear from a 4.0 Ranger.
