gcextreme 475 Posted November 12, 2013 Got my truck back from the bodyshop...had a little accident pulling a trailer and it jackknifed and goofed up my bed side. While it was being fixed i had them paint and throw on my powerdome hood thats been in my shed for a year. I think it will turn a few heads... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edge 67 Posted November 12, 2013 What does your Ranger "Transform" into? I've got an 02 Splash with the 2.3 twin overhead engine that I can't seem to stop driving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcextreme 475 Posted November 12, 2013 Lol. Ive been working on a drawing of what it would look like transformed. No they went to the 2.5L for a few years and then went back to the 2.3L. Mines a 3.0L....then the biggest is the 4.0L but those are known for bad timing chains and have their own long list of issues. Eventually i will be dropping a 5.0L 302 V8 into it from an Explorer. But thats years down the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But thats years down the road. I have had a few of the 2.3s in pintos, a ranger 2 tempos that is all i can think off right now and several 302 motors. Probably 2 of the toughest small blocks was the 312 thunderbird and the 289 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted November 13, 2013 Both my wagons was 4 speed they would do pretty good in 1st and scratch a little in second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted November 13, 2013 My 4 sp. was way fun but the automatic gives new meaning to granny's car. Been thinking about 4cyl. injected and 5 sp. swap from ranger or mustang just to spice it up a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
