the engine came from a 1993 Explorer 4x4 and had 140K when pulled from that and dropped in a 92 Ranger, though he didnt specify how many miles he put on it in the Ranger. from the looks of it, it never ran after being in the Ranger.
i planned on only replacing rods and mains for insurance but when i looked into the cylinders, i saw rust on the walls and piston domes. so it looks like i might have to pull the heads off to clean em up. so is it worthwhile to re-ring it ? is there anything else i should address before i swap it into my 88 ?
as far as performance plans go, ill wanna port and polish the heads and port match the intake, cam it, and of course, ive already got headers. as for the cam, does the 410 require a chip ? what about the 422 ?
TIA,
Dale
