Is this a Bolt in?
Is the wiring similar or the same, because it'll be a takeout of a wrecked Ranger and should I get the Whole wiring harness just in case?
I could probably build my 2.3 and have a pretty stout motor with all the aftermarket and preformance shops out there, but would it be worth it or easier to drop in the 2.5?
I love my little 88 and don't want to get rid of it, it's a great little truck!
I just need some more power for climbing the "Grapevine" everyday!
Thanks

Put the crank and rods out of the 2.5 in your motor and redo the head.Bore it over 40 and put new pistons and rings,makes a nice little motor

Yeah...and if you want to put the forged pistons in now you can add a turbo later and up the boost for a real blast...
