i pullet the 2.3 out of my 88 today and go it striped down to swap parts on to a 83 motor i got, and saw that the heads are not the same at all my 88 is a roller camed and has d ports smaller ports on cyl 2 and 3 and big on 1 and 4
.MY 83 ranger moter has a regular cam and even sized round ports. WICH HEAD IS BEST??? im using the 83 short block because it is fresh and very clean recent rebuilt and want to bild a head for it i have a good friend that is relly into the engine performance department and builds late model and dirt track moters he will do a port job valves put cam in and degre it for me and even use his flow bench for ........FREE
!!! (relly good friend, known him for long time)
I think the 83 head is beter and looks like a beter power builder but we are cuting and opening about 60% to 75 % int. and ex. this is for a 4x4
