Yeah, what Uncle said. While I went with the melling stock replacement, it never really fixed the ticking, so I do wish I put the high pressure pump in, just to see. I also did the roller rocker mod, and it didn't fix it either. I've heard rumors that it is a bottom end issue that results in...

I found this while searching the UK ebay for 2.9 parts... It looks to be an awesome 2.9 fuel rail! I Love it! Thoughts? I put his item description in google translator: "Refurbished Ford SCORPIO, SIERRA MK1 2.9i V6 injector holder for intake manifold / air collector. The flange has been...

Awesome! I'll probably opt for the bare heads anyway... I may want to buy the tougher valves. This block is gonna be on the engine stand for a while, so I have time to think about it. I've got morana's custom rockers in sight, as well as good headers and possibly modding the Euro intake onto it...

Hey guys! While I'm a ways off from actually getting started, I plan on rebuilding a spare 2.9 I have and putting some serious performance upgrades into it. Drawing tons of ideas from Petroleum junkie! I know one of the limiting factors will be heads. I've come across several online that claim...

This is awesome! Thank you!!

I don't have a new one yet, I'm just getting as much info as I can before buying one, so I can get the right one.

Thanks guys! I'll have to put this mod on hold until I get a welder and torch, haha!

Figures... I didn't think it would be as easy as some sources we're vaguely saying.

I have a 1989 4x4 ranger with 3.73s (obviously, a 7.5"). I'm considering the options on a rear axle swap that will both strengthen the rear end, and give me rear discs. With the digging I've done so far, I think my purposes will be met by a 2010 rear axle swap. maybe an 8.8 with discs and the...

They're on my bucket list! I have a spare engine in the garage waiting for money (since we apparently have all the time in the world now!).

Looks like a 9v battery plugs into it... Where would that go?

Ohhhhh!!!! Haha! Oops! Yes! I guess I'll have to keep my mouth shut the next time I get annoyed when someone doesn't read ALL the instructions! (Umm, what they said ^ )

In all seriousness though, if you are still convinced you need/want to do this, it is possible, and I believe there is a whole section of the site dedicated to the 4.0 swap, and I distinctly remember someone doing a write up on doing it in a first gen. There was something about getting the...

I was totally gonna jump on this one! Haha! The 2.9 Mafia is out in force tonight! Haha!

Whole this won't fix your idle issues, I almost guarantee that your throttle cable is stretched and it's not allowing you to reach top speed. https://www.therangerstation.com/tech/throttle-cable-mod/ I would look into your fuel pressure regulator. It may very well be toast. The first thing to...
