Does anyone know what size bolts I need for the header on a 97 2.3? I got a new head and need bolts for it. I have been to 3 parts stores and nobody can help. I also need the bolts for the intake manifold that hold the halves together and to hold it to the block.

Any links on this? Has anyone here run this setup?

Anyone try an 89-94 cam in a 95-11 head with the higher ratio rockers? It’s supposed to be a pretty “hot” set up. But how hot is hot? My truck is a street truck and I’m looking to get a bit of torque and HP but I need it in a reasonable part of the powerband. I pull a small boat, commute, and...

Anyone have a budget guide on the correct way to go electric? I seem to remember you can get one off a explorer? But what parts do I need? How do I wire it?

Is there a way to test your factory fan clutch?

I am tearing my motor down to do a head gasket on it so while it’s apart I’m doing a few upgrades just looking for a few HP and MPG I’m not building a race car here. So while the heads off I’ll magnaflux it, mill a couple thousands off and do a valve job on it. I’m also adding a high flow cat...

Gonna year it Saturday. I’ve been busy at work. ABC Auto is going to magnaflux and mill my head plus a 3 way valve job for 250. I may gasket match it myself. 🤷‍♂️

I replaced the vacuum ball and replaced my vacuum lines with silicone lines and mine started acting right.

Thinking about jumping to a 2.5L head off a 01 2.3. I hear there were some changes to the head a cam. Will this head make any more power over my 97 head? When I get it I will magnaflux it, mill it, and am considering a 3-way valve job. I'd be happy with even 5-7 HP. Mostly trying to freshen the...

It’s there. So is serpentine belt.

So I bought a second ranger last night and it died 24 miles from where I bought it. Checked all the fluids and it looked good. Radiator water was rusty but I let it idle for 15 minutes and it didn't get hot. drove it hard for another 15 minutes then let it idle some more. seemed good bought the...

Finally had a dry day and I noticed a lot of water coming out behind the passenger side tire. Could it be a head gasket on the exhaust side? When I bought the truck I flushed the cooling system and it was rusty with blackish coolant. No oil in the water though.

I'm losing coolant in my 95 ranger 2.3L. I can't seem to figure out where it is going. radiator looks pretty new, oil is fresh and clean, transmission fluid looks clean. I don't see any dripping under it on dry pavement. I do have really wet carpet on the passenger side, but I don't have a smell...

It was an easy fix! Thanks guys. just unplug, unscrew, and screw a new one on there. Thanks!

My compressor is new but not shutting off. I think I need to replace the high pressure switch. I’ve located it... do I need to evacuate system to replace this or does it have a valve? This is on a 95 ranger 2.3

I used the Prestone radiator flush kit. Worked awesome. Mine was full of rust and sludge. I may have had the coolant ford put in in 95 in it when I bought my truck ???

I’m in Longview Tx too.

Sounds good. It’s pretty simple. The newer mustang had a smaller hole to hub center. They are upending it up to match the truck then they will bolt right on.

I ended up dropping them off for machine work this weekend.

They slide on to within about 1/2 inch of seating properly. I was thinking adaptors were the way to go. Would something like this work? (2) 25mm (1") 5x4.5 to 5x4.5 Wheel Spacers fits Ford Mustang Edge Ranger Explorer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C996B8O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_28h1DbM841YQV
