Does anyone know what parts are needed to convert a 4 cyl. fuel injected ranger to dual fuel lpg/gasoline.

I believe the 96 Ranger came with a 2.3L 4-cylinder engine. The Model 225 mixer is rated at 329 CFM which translates to 8101 RPM @ 100% VE. The model 125 mixer might be a better size for your engine as it is rated at 202 CFM (4974 RPM @ 100% VE).
From earlier posts, it sounds like you already have the 225 mixer.

As stated previously. Don't write off the 300. It will work but how well may be in question. Personal experience says it will work well unless it is the 50 series which is getting way too big then. Besides the hardware you currently have you will need an ADV 121 lockoff, an O2 fix and a relays to turn off the injectors and fuel pump when your on LPG. If you live in the US or lower mainland BC, you will likely need to use a rich gas valve and add a fuel controller to the kit.
If you decide to use the Model 300 mixer, as C3H8 suggested, make sure that it is series 1 or 20 rather than the series 50 or 70.
The series 1 & 20 series mixers are rated at 348 CFM while the 50 & 70 series mixers are rated at 432 CFM. The series 20 and 70 series mixers have an additional microswitch vacuum valve to actuate the gasoline solenoid valve.
The Model 175 mixer is similar to the model 300, and although obsolete, is still available as new old stock. The model 100 mixer may also be used by inserting it in the hose between the throttle body and the air cleaner. An appropriate hose adapter would be required in this case.
