So I have a 07 ranger. 2.3 duratec. It has 232k on the clock. It smokes. The timing chain is bad. And it has a bearing knock in the morning. I’m looking into replacing the engine. In my parts. The ranger engines are stupid high in cost. But the focus counterparts are fairly cheap. Work a 2.0/2.3 block work in the ranger. Then just swap the appropriate components over? Or am I stuck with just the ranger based 2.3?
Thanks.
Thanks.
