So I have a stock 2.9L manual trans., in my 91 supercab. Plain and simple it just doesnt have enough power to please me. I have considered modifications but this thing is so sluggish I really would like to have at least a 4.0 in there. The vehicle is in great shape for the year and I like the body style. Here is what I am considering: whats gonna cost me the least amount of money and hassle?
1) Let the motor blow, find a donor 4.0 motor have it machined and swapped by a professional. (I really dont have much mechanical knowledge, tools, or garage) Anyone know what that would cost me?? What kind of shop would do that?
2) Sell or trade for a newer ranger with a 4.0, maybe a prerunner.
I really dont have any mods in the truck now so my feelings wouldnt be too hurt to let it go. However a nice suspension like the James Duff with radius arms and some 33" tires would be a for sure in the future.
