What local emissions testig do you have to pass?
The last year of the 302 was 2001
Most states with emissions will not allow you to put a 01 engine into a 03 truck and still pass the truck must be a 01 model year no later
Now with that said we can put a 5.0 drivetrain into an 03 truck, just don't expect a referee to sign off on it
The ranger changed very little from 98-2011
Torque Monster headers are awesome, not sure why people want to stay away from them. Ditch the gaskets and hardware he ships them with and you are good to go! I have removed and resealed TM's in the truck several times its not that difficult
Drivers side is hardest but still a 3-6 hour job not a project killer!
There are other manifolds that will fit as well if you just hate tube headers all together
