Hey guys,
I would rather buy a brand new part than a rebuilt especially when it comes to an engine, something that the motor companies seem to be doing right. Chevy Toyota etc. although they might be losing money due in part to it. Unlike good old ford not taking the bail out money but anyways........
Heres the thing, I looked it up on various OEM trademotion Ford and Mazda online parts sites. You can buy a spankin brand new 96 2.3 small block from Mazda for the B series2.3(not rebuilt), Ford only offers their blocks rebuilt. Will a 96 Mazda 2.3 small block bolt on to a Ranger 2.3 cylinder head and fit the rest of the parts because they are the same. Or are they slightly different, or even completely different?
Thanks
Jason
