I guess my question should be, what would work?
I only got the truck a few weeks ago. Its a 2007 2WD ranger, with a knocking 3.0. Its got 187000 kms (probably wrong) and I got it from a sketchy used car guy in the back woods. I traded my old car (rotten frame) for it, so it's not like I am out money.
That being said, I have been fixing it up, so the suspension and wheel bearings and brakes are all new and great.
So now, the question is, do I swap another 3.0 in, or swap to a v8?
I know I would need new engine mounts, but whats a relatively simple swap for a 2007? or are they all hard because of the PATS and other issues?
Any input is appreciated
