2.73 = 8 open or M loc
3.08 = Y open or Z loc
3.27 = 5 open or E loc
3.45 = F open or R loc
3.73 = 6 open or W loc
3.55 = 2 open or K loc

As far as the motor, it's probably the 200hp/285tq H.O. that the 86 Mustang got. I had that same motor in my car. If you want the car for parts, look for an '88+ LSC. This one doesn't seem like it's worth it for what you're looking to do.

Yes. They came with 3.73s but the Ranger would be served better with something smaller.
