Hi there. I’m trying to find out whether or not I can take my car's (listed above) engine and put it inside a 2005 2.5 diesel Ford Ranger?

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to 2CarPros. Looking at the two vehicles I would say that it isn't something that is possible. They are very different in that the Maverick is actually a Nissan while the Ranger is a Mazda. To swap would mean replacing much more than just the engine, you would basically need to change the entire wiring harness, engine, transmission, computers, dash, fuel system and exhaust. Sorry.
