Has anyone found a good underdrive setup for the cologne engine?

I don't need a fast truck but a little extra umph to get out of the way would be nice.

My credo
drives a stick shift ranger
nothing shows up in google? that is odd since that motor is fairly popular but maybe since its older, no one makes stuff anymore?

thats the 3.0 problem. there used to be under drive kits but now they are very expensive and not all the pulleys are still made

That's actually the issue I'm having is finding a kit with all pulleys. I may have to try to get pulleys from different sources but, that kinda worries me.
