Ranger GT engine???

CTswampyankee · Apr 15, 2008

I hear the ranger gt has a 2.9. Is this the same as other rangers or a higher HP engine? if so what are the diffs? ;missingteeth;

It's a stock 2.9. GT's got a sporty appearance package and that's about it. Gorgeous and rare, but not much of a barn burner performance wise.

2.9, 5spd, 4.10's if im not mistaken, may not be a barn burner but its plenty peppy for what it is

you havnt seen many 2.9's then. a 2.3 power truck might as well be power by hot-dogs.

Something must be wrong with your 2.9 then... My dads reg cab shortbed ranger 2wd 2.3 5speed and 3.73s didnt stand a chance against my buddies extra cab 4x4 2.9 5 speed with 3.73s and bigger tires, that truck was quick.

Must be fox body Mustang 2.3Ls.

2.9Ls will walk on 2.3Ls all day. I've been beaten by a worn out stock '86 305 Camaro, I have a really hard time believing that a N/A 2.9L beat a 5.0L Fox Body.

If I could have gotten 50 more hp out of a GT PCM, I wouldn't have thought twice about ditching my MAF PCM.

I've walked the shit out of my friend's '96 2.3L several times. I have an A4LD auto, he has a M5OD-R1 manual. I will also give him an advantage and take off from idle.

I have walked on a SOHC '95 4.6L T-Bird on take off, but he probably would have got me on the long run. I lost to this same car w/ a Chevy 262 in a Grand Prix on take off and long run, badly.
