How easy is this going to be dum dum? I know it wont be plug in play as you will have to do some engineering.
It won't be plug and play but the engine mounts look pretty f*cking close to being right for width and height. It's hard to tell exactly how much will need doing as nobody has ever put one in a European Ford Ranger. Wiring is simple, like an XUD there is only a couple needed to actually make it run and plumbing in the rad and heater matrix is nothing special.
