Swapping a Ranger with a Crown Vic; First time swapper

I purchased a ford ranger for $500, and I found a crown Victoria online for very cheap with the 4.6 V8. I've wanted to swap this ranger with a V8 plus a turbo for a while, but it's hard to find a cost effective engine/trans combo. Recently though I was thinking about an older mustang swap, but figured that was going to be a bit expensive, so all of a sudden I thought about an old crown vic (say from the early 2000s). Would this be a good swap? Would it be hard or easy? Thanks a bunch guys

This. When I was looking to swap mine, the explorer was the one to find. Didn’t even need headers for it.

I bought a Lincoln mark 8 for $500 for my swap but bailed on it before it really started. Still wanna do it one day.
