First off let me introduce my self, Willy Thompson. My Son and I part out Miatas, and my expertise lies there. My racing partner and I acquired a lemons car that has a ranger 2.3 in it. The motor has been mated to a t-5 and we have won our b class 2 times and are now bumped in to the a class with our little 2.3
These questions are very rudimentary I am sure, but hoping to pick the brains of you folks in the know
On one particularly hot weekend we cracked a head in the car, we since have gotten a head rebuilt at our machine shop with a mild cam and roller rockers. We would like to carry with us a spare head and possibly motor to the track. I was able to get an aswesome deal on a motor/trans out of a 79 pinto which I assume the bottom end is the same as ours (I believe ours was from an 88 or 89 ranger) I am certain the head is different.
The question is does anyone know if the pinto head will mate with our exhaust? Or is that just stupid talk lol And where and how would I go about finding a spare head like what we have? I am in no way an expert, but I think we have a d head, please tell me if I am mistaken.
fwiw the 4 speed trans I got with the pinto motor does us no good, and if anyone could use it or maybe even trade towards a head that would be cool
