Inquiries

I at last have a vehicl to call my own, a 1986 white Ford Ranger. My top priority is now to make due with what i've been given and make it into the baddest machine I possibly can. This is why I must ask this of the Ford enthusiasts, would it be possibly for me to fit a Vortec V-6 in this thing? My Uncle managed to fit a 302 into his '85, he told me that I could get a Vortec into mine, only there was a bit of uncertainty in his voice; this is why I wish to now for sure from someone who has done this, is it possible?
