Hi Gang,
My 95 Ranger 3.0 has got 250K on it and I am going to rebuild it. Or, rather, I am going to get a 3.0 out of the local wrecking yard and rebuild that so it will be ready to go by summer.
I am not interested in swaps as I don't have the time to mess around with fabs, etc. and I am generally happy with my 3.0 as I get 22-23 on the freeway at a steady 65.
However, I would like to punch-up the 3.0 a bit. So any suggestions would be welcome. I don't want to go extreme, just any ideas to up the hp/torque a bit would be welcome.
Has anyone had any luck with different cams? How about boring-out the block? How large can I take it reliably? Do headers do anything for this engine?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Terence
